How Elon Musk got beaten up by a gay banker during Pride Month

In a spectacle that could only be described as the most dramatic episode of "White House Wrestling Federation," Elon Musk and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent engaged in a physical altercation that has left the political world reeling.

The incident, which unfolded in the hallowed halls of the West Wing, was not just a clash of egos but a full-blown WWE-style showdown that even Vince McMahon would envy.

The IRS smackdown

The drama began in mid-April when Musk and Bessent found themselves in the Oval Office, each pitching their candidate for the position of acting IRS commissioner. Musk, ever the disruptor, had already secured President Trump's endorsement for Gary Shapley, a former IRS agent known for his role as a whistleblower in the Hunter Biden investigation.

Bessent, however, had other plans, advocating for his deputy, Michael Faulkender, to take the reins.Tensions escalated when Bessent accused Musk of being a "fraud," a comment that reportedly sent Musk into a fit of rage. According to MAGA activist Steve Bannon, Musk responded by ramming his shoulder into Bessent's rib cage "like a rugby player," leading to a scuffle that required multiple individuals to intervene and separate the two men .

The hallway havoc

The altercation didn't end there. As the two men exited the Oval Office, their verbal sparring continued down the hallway. Witnesses described the scene as "two billionaire, middle-aged men thinking it was WWE," with F-bombs flying and egos clashing louder than a steel chair to the back .At one point, Bessent allegedly shouted, "F**k you!" to which Musk retorted, "Say it louder." An aide had to step in to physically separate the two, preventing what could have been a full-blown Royal Rumble in the West Wing .

The Trump takedown

President Trump, who had previously been a staunch ally of Musk, reportedly witnessed the altercation and was less than pleased. According to Bannon, Trump commented, "This is too much," signaling a potential rift in their relationship .The fallout from the incident was swift and severe. Trump reversed his decision to appoint Shapley as acting IRS commissioner, siding with Bessent. Musk, meanwhile, found himself ousted from his role atop the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a move that sent shockwaves through his political ambitions .

The black eye brouhaha

As if the drama weren't enough, Musk appeared at a press conference with a black eye, sparking rumors that the injury was a result of the altercation with Bessent. Musk denied the allegations, attributing the injury to a mishap with his son. However, the timing and circumstances of the injury have left many questioning the true cause .

A Pride Month to remember

In a twist that could only be described as poetic, the altercation between Musk and Bessent occurred during Pride Month, adding a layer of irony to the already absurd situation.

As one commentator aptly put it, the messy breakup between Trump and Musk was "truly the gayest thing about Pride Month," a sentiment that captures the theatrical and flamboyant nature of their public fallout .In the end, the Musk-Bessent altercation serves as a reminder that in the world of politics, egos are fragile, tempers are short, and even billionaires aren't immune to a good old-fashioned brawl. Whether this marks the end of Musk's political aspirations or merely the beginning of a new chapter remains to be seen.

One thing is certain: the West Wing will never be the same.As for Bessent, he has emerged from the altercation with his dignity intact and a newfound respect for the physical prowess of tech moguls. Musk, on the other hand, may want to consider a new career path—perhaps as a professional wrestler in the next season of "Celebrity Smackdown."In the grand tapestry of political theater, this episode will undoubtedly go down as one of the most entertaining and absurd. And as always, we can count on the White House to provide us with the most unexpected and riveting dramas.
