**TENSION IN TRUMP’S CAMP: MUSK AND ADVISER CLASH OVER CABINET PICKS**
A firestorm is brewing within Donald Trump's inner circle as Elon Musk and a longtime Trump advisor, Boris Epshteyn, have reportedly engaged in a heated confrontation over cabinet selections for the upcoming administration.
As Trump prepares for his new term, Musk's growing influence has sparked concern among some of Trump's most loyal aides, leading to what insiders describe as a “massive blowup” over personnel choices.
Musk, who has been a major financial supporter of Trump's political endeavors, openly questioned the qualifications of Epshteyn's favored candidates during a dinner at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago estate last week.
At the center of the controversy is the sentiment that some of Epshteyn’s appointments may not embody the decisive change many Trump supporters yearn for.
Musk has been advocating for Howard Lutnick to be appointed as Treasury Secretary instead of Scott Bessent, whom he deems a “business-as-usual choice.”
In contrast, Musk argues that Lutnick is better equipped to bring about transformative changes essential for steering the nation away from financial uncertainty.
Their disagreement escalated to a point where Musk accused Epshteyn of leaking details about Trump’s transition plans, including cabinet picks, to outside sources—an allegation Epshteyn dismissed as unfounded.
The rift highlights the internal dynamics within Trump's team, where old alliances face challenges from influential newcomers like Musk.
As Trump navigates the complexities of forming his new administration, the outcomes of these clashes could significantly influence the direction of his policies and appointments.
With tensions simmering, many in the Republican base are watching closely to see how Trump balances the differing perspectives within his camp as he gears up for his ambitious agenda ahead.
