Tense Showdown in West Wing Over IRS Commissioner Pick

A heated confrontation broke out in the West Wing this week as Elon Musk clashed with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent over the interim appointment of an IRS Commissioner. Musk reportedly pushed for whistleblower Gary Shapley, defying Bessent’s preference for Deputy Treasury Secretary Michael Faulkender, pending Senate confirmation of President Trump’s nominee, Billy Long.

Witnesses described the exchange as intense, with raised voices and profanity prompting a White House aide to step in. Musk allegedly accused Bessent of being a “Soros henchman” due to his past ties to Soros-affiliated funds.

While the White House confirmed the incident, it characterized the dispute as a typical policy disagreement within the administration.
