White House staffer went on a revenge tour against Elon Musk, fanning flames with Trump — while bragging about Tesla stock drop
New York Post ^ | June 6, 2025 | Diana Glebova and Steven Nelson

Musk and Gor disliked each other since before Trump reclaimed power on Jan. 20 — with the Tesla and SpaceX CEO describing Gor as “sleazy” during the transition and questioning his staffing picks. But the world’s richest man had the president’s ear and friendship through last week.

Simmering behind the scenes was a grudge nursed by Gor over a March 6 Cabinet meeting, during which Musk “humiliated” him by slamming the pace of staffing the administration, said the sources, each of whom have interacted closely with Gor.

“He was bragging to other people that he was going to get one last shot at Elon out the door. He was going to get Elon back for making him look bad,” said one source.

“Elon was always telling the president ‘Sergio’s not moving fast enough to hire people. He’s not the right guy for the job.’ In front of the entire Cabinet, he said that. It’s not just humiliating, but the president starts looking at him like, ‘Why aren’t you doing your f—ing job?’”

Trump seems to have some vipers around him more interested in their connection to power than the welfare of the nation.

I’ve been waiting for the shadow state Tim Walzing of the Tesla stock holders.

Quit the crap, stop deficit spending, stop baseline budgeting, balance the budget, return the country to sanity, and stop the intramural bickering. Anyone in Trump’s administration that does this crap should be fired. Suzie, where are you?

Sounds like a piling on type of hit piece I’m gonna take with a grain of salt.

It is all clear now. This is one reason Bannon himself is not in a new Trump admin. This kind of stuff. Bannon carries on all the time with his Musk hate. Who knows where that black eye came from but it wasn’t Lil X.

IMO, Steve and his buddy Gor are responsible for this outrage that has hurt Trump and caused problems for him.

I wondered who and how many were dishing out bad advice lately.

“Trump seems to have some vipers around him more interested in their connection to power than the welfare of the nation.”

I’m guessing these types of undesirable employees aways existed, but never before had the sort of access to the public that social media provides today. When you suddenly have to hire a couple thousand employees, you’re bound to get several who are poisonous snakes.

So smoking them out could explain why Trump and Elon put on this kabuki.

Gor’s pushing back on the NASA nominee was totally appropriate. But, and I’m no Musk fan, if any of what is said in the article about Gor is true, he should be fired just to get someone else in that role. It has, however, served to show what kind of a person Musk is, and hopefully Trump will learn from this.

Yeah this smoked out Bannon and showed us for what he is. He has started demanding Trump jail and deport Musk and seize his assets as essential for national security.
