White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt has shut down rumors of a physical altercation that allegedly took place between Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent.
Trump’s former political adviser Steve Bannon claims that Musk body checked Bessent “like a rugby player” during an incident in the White House in mid-April. According to Bannon, Bessent hit the tech billionaire back and the pair had to be broken up by multiple people before Musk was taken out of the West Wing.
