Elon Muskās shouting match with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent might have been the final nail in the coffin for the tech billionaireās four-month stint in the White House, but it came after months of bubbling frustration at Muskās āchain-sawā approach to dismantling the federal government.
Musk and Bessent exploded at each other in April when Musk attempted to force through his pick to lead the IRSāGary Shapleyābehind Bessentās back. (Musk eventually lost this battleāShapley lasted less than 72 hours before Bessent tapped Michael Faulkender to replace him.)
āFuck you! Fuck you! Fuck you!ā a typically mild-mannered Bessent was heard shouting after Musk as they charged down the halls of the West Wing.
Bullshit. He got pretty much everything he wanted, including gigantic government contracts for his businesses, while stopping all investigations into his criminal activity and negligent products. Also got to get high on swinging his dick around a lot, and still has trump offering him more favors for more money.
Itās never enough for these assholes. Musk wants the whole world to bend to his will because he bought the government fair and square. Some uppity government employee shouldnāt tell him he doesnāt have the authority to install more puppets in these agencies.
Yes, but -like trump- he will shout stupid shit to draw away the attention from the main causeā¦ because people will take offense
