Summary
Elon Musk and longtime Trump adviser Boris Epshteyn had a heated argument at Mar-a-Lago, reportedly over Musk accusing Epshteyn of leaking Trump’s cabinet picks.
The clash reflects growing tensions between the two during Trump’s transition process.
Musk, a major donor, has been advocating for Howard Lutnick as Treasury secretary, while Epshteyn has been heavily involved in Trump’s appointments, including backing Matt Gaetz for attorney general.
The conflict has reportedly annoyed Trump and other aides, with concerns about favoritism and the direction of key economic policies.
Wouldn’t it be interesting if they were able to crater the entire operation before he even takes office?
What would that do to measuring in Scaramuccis, if his entire slate is fired months before he can officially hire them?
-4 Scaramuccis. Or we could use his nickname for the negative numbers, -4 Mooches.
For our British friends using the metric system, that’s -1 Truss
Conversion: 1 Truss (44 days) = 4 Mooches (4 x 11 days)
