Elon Musk and Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn clash over Cabinet appointments
Tensions have escalated between Elon Musk and Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn over Cabinet appointments, leading to a heated confrontation at Mar-a-Lago. Musk questioned Epshteyn's choices, including his support for certain candidates, and accused him of leaking information. Epshteyn, a key figure in Trump's legal defense, defended his decisions and dismissed Musk's claims. Musk is advocating for Howard Lutnick as Treasury secretary, while Epshteyn supports other candidates for prominent positions in the administration. Despite the conflict, Musk retains support from Trump’s family and allies, though his growing influence is causing concern among some longtime members of Trump’s inner circle.
