Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent sought to downplay his feud with billionaire Elon Musk over the best course of action for the Trump administration, saying the two "had disagreements" but "want to get to the same place."
Speaking to the New York Post's "Pod Force One," Bessent addressed reports of a physical fight between the two earlier this year. "The Silicon Valley mode of operation is move quickly and break things. I always say here at Treasury we move deliberately and fix things," Bessent said. "I think Elon's probably fancies himself more of a Viking. I think I'm more of a ninja."
