Elon Musk's influence in Trump's Cabinet selection sparks tension with advisor Boris Epshteyn

Elon Musk's influence in Donald Trump's Cabinet selection is causing tension, particularly with advisor Boris Epshteyn. A recent confrontation at Mar-a-Lago involved Musk accusing Epshteyn of having too much control over personnel decisions, leading to a heated exchange. Musk's support for Howard Lutnick as Treasury Secretary has added to the friction, prompting Trump to consider other candidates like Kevin Warsh and Marc Rowan. Epshteyn's role in recommending controversial legal appointments has also raised concerns among Republicans. Musk is set to lead Trump's new "Department of Government Efficiency" alongside Vivek Ramaswamy. With key Cabinet positions still open, Musk's growing influence may significantly impact the administration's direction.
