Elon Musk clashes with Trump aide over cabinet picks at Mar-a-Lago dinner
Elon Musk and Trump aide Boris Epshteyn had a heated argument over cabinet appointments at Mar-a-Lago last week. Epshteyn advocated for controversial picks, including Matt Gaetz for Attorney General, which has caused tension within Trump's team. Musk, who has invested heavily in Trump's campaign, accused Epshteyn of leaking information about cabinet selections. Epshteyn denied the allegations, and their clash was reportedly not unexpected by others in Trump's circle. Despite the conflict, Musk's influence in Trump's administration appears to be growing, with mixed reactions from Trump's loyalists. Key cabinet positions have been filled, including several lawyers involved in Trump's legal defense.
