Elon Musk’s reaction to the latest news of Scott Bessent threatening a coworker brought back conspiracy theories behind Musk’s black eye.
Elon Musk could have let go of the POLITICO article that detailed how Donald Trump’s treasury secretary Scott Bessent blasted a Trump official, threatening him to punch him in the face. Elon Musk shared the article with a ‘hmm’ which has now set the Internet on fire, as the last person known to have a physical brawl with Bessent was apparently Elon Musk. Social media users reacted to Musk’s cryptic reply, expressing their curiosity about what actually transpired between Elon Musk and Scott Bessent in the White House. None of them openly addressed the issue, which only fueled wild stories from the West Wing that Musk hit Bessent’s ribcage and that Bessent, in turn, left Musk with a black eye. The black eye had its own story, as Elon Musk explained that it was a result of a punch from his son. No one believed the story, as it seemed incredulous that a toddler could punch so hard that Musk had to sport that black eye for days.In an interview, Bessent asserted that he was not the reason of Musk’s black eye. “I can 100 percent say I did not give him the black eye,” Bessent said without revealing to what extent he and Musk fought in the White House.

The latest face-off was between Bessent and Bill Pulte, Trump’s housing finance chief. Politico reported that the fallout took place at the inaugural dinner at the Executive Branch, the new club set up for posh MAGA. Bessent walked up to Pulte and charged him with allegations that Pulte was badmouthing Bessent to Trump. Politico detailed how the curse-laden conversations flowed between Bessent and Pulte, with the abuses coming from Bessent. The altercation reached a moment when Bessent said either he would attend the dinner or Pulte, or both could sort it out outside. Eventually, both of them remained at the dinner far from each other — in two different areas.
