There is no credible evidence or verified report confirming the dramatic physical altercation between Elon Musk and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, or any such fallout between Musk and Donald Trump as described.
This story appears to be entirely fictional or satirical. Here’s why:
-
Scott Bessent is not the U.S. Treasury Secretary. The current Treasury Secretary (as of 2025) is Janet Yellen (or her successor if there's been a change, but no major reports have identified Bessent in such a role). Bessent is a real person—a hedge fund manager and former CIO of Soros Fund Management—but he has not served in the U.S. Cabinet.
-
Elon Musk is not officially part of the U.S. government. There's no Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which also appears to be a pun referencing Dogecoin, a cryptocurrency Musk has often joked about.
-
No mainstream news outlet—including The Washington Post—has reported such a physical altercation or Musk accusing Trump of being named in “Epstein files.” Claims like these would dominate headlines globally if real.
-
There is no public evidence of a social media feud between Musk and Trump involving impeachment calls or Epstein-related allegations. Any such exchange would have gone viral and been widely reported.
This story reads like political fiction, speculative satire, or an AI-generated alternate reality scenario. If you saw this in a social post or message chain, it’s best to treat it as fictional or misleading unless confirmed by reliable sources.
