A surprising physical altercation occurred in the White House this Pride Month between Elon Musk, the world's richest man, and Scott Bessent, the openly gay U.S. Treasury Secretary. The incident, dubbed "WWE in the West Wing," unfolded during a heated discussion over IRS leadership appointments. What began as a policy disagreement escalated into a confrontation, with Musk reportedly leaving the scene visibly injured and escorted out of the building. 

Bessent, a Yale-educated former hedge fund manager, has been a prominent figure in the Trump administration, known for his strong stance on tariffs and trade. His appointment as the first openly gay Treasury Secretary marked a significant moment in U.S. political history. 

The altercation has sent shockwaves through political circles, highlighting the intense power dynamics and personal tensions within the Trump administration. This event underscores the volatile intersection of ego, policy, and politics at the highest levels of government.
