Elon Musk, Boris Epshteyn Clash at Mar-a-Lago

Elon Musk and Boris Epshteyn, a key advisor to Donald Trump, had a heated confrontation at a dinner at Mar-a-Lago over alleged leaks regarding Trump's Cabinet picks, according to multiple reports. Musk accused Epshteyn of leaking information to the media, which Epshteyn denied, leading to what witnesses described as a 'massive blowup.' Tensions have been escalating between the two as they compete for influence within Trump's inner circle, with Musk pushing for Howard Lutnick to be appointed Treasury Secretary instead of Scott Bessent. Epshteyn has been a longstanding loyalist with significant sway over Trump's appointments, including Matt Gaetz as attorney general. Musk's increasing presence and involvement in Trump's transition has reportedly caused frustration among traditional members of Trump's team. Despite Musk's substantial financial backing of Trump's campaign, his behavior has drawn criticism from those who have been part of Trump's inner circle for years.
