MARIA BARTIROMO: “The Washington Post reported after speaking with Steve Bannon that Elon Musk aggressively body checked Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent in the White House. We’re all trying to figure out what happened here and how come this got to this level. What happened? Did he body-check the Treasury Secretary in the White House?
KAROLINE LEAVITT: “Well, look, when this story originally broke, I said from the podium that there have definitely been healthy disagreements amongst the cabinet and Elon Musk. There were times in which they got frustrated with one another. But I think that really speaks to the heart of this cabinet and the president’s team, that they can have these robust disagreements and then still come together to do what’s right for the people they are serving.”
MARIA BARTIROMO: “What I’m trying to understand here is how rough this got. Because the president said that Elon Musk disrespected the office of the president. Now, we know that there was real disrespect in a lot of those X posts from Elon Musk, for sure. But did he actually get physical? Was there a fistfight that he body-checked the treasury secretary?”
KAROLINE LEAVITT: “I certainly wouldn’t describe it as a fist fight, Maria. It was definitely a disagreement. Although I was not there, I didn’t witness it with my own eyes. I heard about it through secondhand reporting. But again, we’ve moved on from that. The president has moved on from it.”
