But according to a shocking new report from The Washington Post, the black eye may have occurred during a physical altercation with the United States Secretary of the Treasury, Scott Bessent.

The Washington Post claimed that Musk and Bessent argued about who they wanted as the acting IRS commissioner. This led to a heated argument outside the Oval Office that turned physical, with former Trump advisor Steve Bannon detailing the ordeal:

“After Bessent and Musk exited the Oval Office and began walking down the hallway, the two men started to exchange insults, Bannon said he was told, adding that Bessent brought up Musk’s claims that he would uncover more than $1 trillion in wasteful and fraudulent government spending, which Musk had not succeeded at doing.

“Scott said, ‘You’re a fraud. You’re a total fraud,’” Bannon said in an interview.

Musk then rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s rib cage “like a rugby player,” Bannon said, and Bessent hit him back. Multiple people stepped in to break up the scrum as the two men reached the national security adviser’s office, and Musk was shuffled out of the West Wing.”
