Elon Musk Reportedly Gets in Blowout Fight With Trump Adviser at Mar-a-Lago Dinner [View all]
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.
