Musk-Trump News / Musk had a heated argument in Trump's cabinet meeting, the President kept watching

Musk-Trump News: An unexpected atmosphere was created in the cabinet meeting of US President Donald Trump when a heated debate broke out between Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio. According to reports, this tussle between the two took place over the layoff of employees in government agencies, on which the opinions of Musk and Rubio were completely different from each other.

Reason for debate – Reduction of government employees

According to the New York Times report, the debate started when Marco Rubio alleged that Musk was spreading lies about the reduction of employees. On the other hand, Musk described this policy as necessary for the US economy. Recently, President Trump had announced large-scale layoffs in government agencies, under which thousands of employees have been fired.

According to sources present in the meeting, the debate on this issue escalated so much that the US Transport Minister also joined it and opposed Musk's opinion. During this, Trump remained a mute spectator and the atmosphere of the meeting kept getting heated.

Trump's big statement on staffing policy

According to a Reuters report, during this cabinet meeting, Trump made it clear that he will have the final authority on staffing and policy decisions in government agencies, and not any outsider. Trump said that there is an excess of unnecessary staff in the US bureaucracy, and reducing it is among the priorities of his government.

The President had recently said that the US government has a debt of $36 trillion and there was a deficit of billions of dollars last year as well, so the reduction had become inevitable. After this statement, the process of sacking many government employees in America has accelerated.

Musk vs Rubio - Trump denies controversy

When Trump was asked about this controversy, he completely rejected it. He said, "There was no such clash. Alan and Marco behave very well. Both are doing a great job. Marco is an excellent foreign minister and Alan is a unique innovator."

However, White House insiders believe that this debate between Musk and Rubio shows that the differences over policy matters within the administration are deepening.

Tension also increased between Trump and Zelensky

This is not the first time that a heated debate has been seen in a meeting of Trump. A few days ago, there was a heated debate between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Trump in the White House.

Trump had told Zelensky, "Your attitude is not one of compromise. We have given you $ 350 billion and military equipment. If it were not for our help, this war would have ended in two weeks."

In response, Zelensky said that Ukraine wants a ceasefire, but there is no clear guarantee from Putin. This conversation reflects deep differences within America's foreign policy.

Conclusion

The ever-increasing dispute within the Trump administration and major decisions like reduction of government employees have created a stir in Washington. The debate between Elon Musk and Marco Rubio indicates that disagreements on economic and policy issues are growing within the administration. It will be interesting to see in the coming days how Trump handles this situation and what new policy is adopted for the employees affected by government layoffs.
