😱Tensions flared at the White House when Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent clashed over who should lead the IRS.❗ Musk reportedly bypassed Bessent to push President Trump to appoint former IRS agent and Biden whistleblower Gary Shapley as acting commissioner. Bessent, who oversees the IRS, preferred his deputy, Michael Faulkender, to hold the role until Trump’s official pick, Billy Long, is confirmed by the Senate.

The confrontation turned heated in the West Wing, with witnesses citing shouting, profanity, and a White House aide stepping in to deescalate. Musk allegedly accused Bessent of being a “Soros henchman,” pointing to his previous roles at Key Square Group and Soros Fund Management—comments critics say echo anti-Semitic conspiracy theories about George Soros.

Bessent has also publicly dismissed Musk’s cost-cutting claims as empty talk. The White House confirmed the dispute but framed it as a routine part of policymaking, emphasizing that all staff ultimately serve at the president’s discretion.
