Good brothers play the role of turning against each other.

Recently, a heavyweight argument at the White House entrance brought the U.S. government back into the spotlight, as Musk, head of the Department of Government Efficiency, and Treasury Secretary Bessent engaged in a verbal spat over political disagreements, almost leading to physical conflict. Ultimately, Trump adopted Bessent's nomination proposal, raising suspicions about whether the relationship between Trump and Musk had frayed. This conflict not only reveals the clash of power between Silicon Valley and Washington but also uncovers the complex game of power balancing between Trump and Musk, from "intimate allies" to "power checks."
