[Global Network Report] According to Fox News on the 8th, regarding the news that "American entrepreneur Musk and Treasury Secretary Bescent had fought in the White House," White House Press Secretary Levitt responded that the matter was not as exaggerated as many people imagined, and the two were just "disagreeing" at the time.

According to the Washington Post on the 7th, Bannon, a former adviser to US President Trump, revealed that in mid-April this year, Musk and Becent had a dispute outside the Oval Office of the White House, and even had fierce physical conflicts. The report said that the two had a disagreement when submitting the list of candidates for the IRS acting chief to Trump, and Trump finally decided to support the candidate recommended by Becente.
Fox News' latest report said that Levitt responded to the above revelations in an interview in a program broadcast by the media on the 8th. "I certainly wouldn't describe it as a fight, it must be a disagreement," Levitt said. "Although I was not on the scene and didn't see it with my own eyes, I heard it indirectly. But to reiterate, this matter has been turned over. The president has let go, and the entire administration is focused on passing this ('big and beautiful') bill."
Musk had previously been directly involved in major federal spending cuts during his tenure in the Trump administration. It is reported that in the past few months, Musk has had disputes with several officials of the Trump administration, including Becente, Secretary of State Rubio, etc. Musk and Bescent had a fierce quarrel at the White House in April. According to sources who heard the quarrel at the time, Bescent once scolded Musk. Recently, after leaving the Trump administration, Musk also criticized that the "big and American" bill of large-scale tax and expenditure promoted by the Trump administration is "disgusting". The fierce "war of words" between Musk and Trump has attracted attention from the outside world.
