SHOCKING VIDEO: Musk Vs Scott Bessent 'Shouting Match' At White House Over IRS Creates Ruckus

Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent got into a heated shouting match inside the White House over who should lead the IRS. Musk backed Gary Shapley, while Bessent pushed for his deputy Michael Faulkender. The argument—filled with expletives and accusations—erupted near President Trump and Italian PM Giorgia Meloni. Musk even accused Bessent of being a “Soros agent.” Days later, Bessent’s pick won out. White House aides say tensions like this aren’t unusual, but the clash exposes deep divisions within Trump’s economic inner circle. #ElonMusk #ScottBessent #IRS #WhiteHouse #TrumpAdministration #GaryShapley #MichaelFaulkender #PoliticalDrama #MuskVsBessent #TreasuryClash #SorosAgent #IRSLeadership #EconomicPolicy #TrumpNews #BreakingNews #PowerStruggle #GiorgiaMeloni #USPolitics #ShoutingMatch #TreasuryDepartment #WhiteHouseDrama #TrumpInnerCircle #WashingtonClash #PolicyTensions #MuskExplodes #IRSReform #HighStakesPolitics #VerbalShowdown #TrumpTeam #BehindClosedDoors Also Read Elon Musk To Visit India Later This Year, Calls Talk With PM Modi 'An Honour' :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/elon-musk-to-visit-india-later-this-year-calls-talk-with-pm-modi-an-honour-4128177.html?ref=DMDesc Modi and Musk Discuss Collaboration In Technology :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/modi-and-musk-discuss-collaboration-in-technology-4127313.html?ref=DMDesc US President Trump Is Now A Comic Book Villain In Canada, Elon Musk Is His Sidekick :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/us-president-trump-is-now-a-comic-book-villain-in-canada-elon-musk-is-his-sidekick-4120951.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~GR.124~
