Elon Musk Reportedly Gets in Blowout Fight With Trump Adviser at Mar-a-Lago Dinner

Blow-Up Dolls

It's only been a few weeks since Elon Musk's money helped bring Donald Trump back to the White House — and already, the billionaire seems to be causing problems.

According to insiders who spoke to Axios, Musk and Donald Trump's indicted lawyer Boris Epshteyn got into what the outlet's sources described as a "massive blowup" and a "huge explosion" at Mar-a-Lago last week over the president-elect's Cabinet picks, of all things.

Those sources said that the row occurred in front of other guests at Trump's Florida mansion as Musk accused Epshteyn of intentionally leaking picks to the press. The attorney rebutted that he had no idea what the billionaire was talking about — but onlookers, including those within Trump's orbit, were well aware of what the fight was really about.

Sway My Way

These explosive tensions had been bubbling for weeks, Axios' anonymous sources explained, as the pair vie for influence with Trump. A longtime advisor to the real estate tycoon who has represented him in court and briefly worked with him during his first presidency, Epshteyn's sway with Trump makes sense.

11. And THAT is what the media missed the most:

"Insiders" and "high-level anonymous sources" inside the Trump regime fishing the dirt to reporters... Biden ran a tight and quietly competent administration so there were no "insiders" spreading more gossip than a hair salon... And believe me, behind-closed-doors gossip is like heroin to reporters.

Now I'm not saying this didn't happen, but what I am saying is Trump in his first term expertly played the media on multiple occasions by having his people plant stories in the news as "unnamed insider sources"... Sometimes he'd want to float a controversial policy idea to the public before officially announcing it. Sometimes he'd have his people leak stuff to serve as a huge shiny distraction to divert attention away from whatever crimes he was committing in plain sight. And sometimes he'd do it just because he wanted more of the spotlight...

Trust me, be careful with these stories because we're going to be seeing them once or twice a week from now on...

12. Meh. Performative kayfabe bullshit to make their future goose-stepping more dramatic

Seems very fake and pre-planned to me. Then again, Musk and Trump themselves seem generally fake to me, so I'm biased when it comes to assigning fakeness to specific events.
