The Washington Post Reports Elon Musk and Scott Bessent Got Into Physical Altercation — “Rammed him like a rugby player!”

This one’s… odd.

Just to be clear up front: I’m not saying I believe this story from The Washington Post. I’m just telling you what they reported. Got it? Good.

So, here’s the strange report:

According to Steve Bannon, there was an incident in the West Wing where Elon Musk allegedly rammed his shoulder into Bessent’s ribs “like a rugby player.” Bessent apparently hit him back, and things got so heated that others had to step in to break up the scuffle right outside the national security adviser’s office.

Bannon claims President Trump later heard about it and said: “This is too much.”

Now… do we actually believe this happened?

Eric Daugherty sure doesn’t — and honestly, it reads like something pulled from a bad high school drama script. Bessent isn’t exactly known for being a brawler, and picturing Elon Musk shoulder-charging someone in the White House feels more like satire than reality.

I’d usually dismiss the whole thing as pure “Fake News” — and I still might — except for one strange detail…

That black eye Musk showed up with recently.

Coincidence?

Or does it line up a little too well with this wild story?

Now, Elon has already explained the black eye — he says he got it while roughhousing with his son, little X, and even told him to punch him in the face. And yes, there’s video.

So maybe that’s the full story. Maybe it really was just some harmless father-son fun that left him with a shiner.

After all, sometimes a black eye really is just a black eye.

But… this is 2025. Nothing’s ever that simple, right?

Some people have connected Musk’s black eye to the so-called “Black Eye Club” — a group that’s been the subject of speculation for years, with a growing list of public figures mysteriously showing up with similar bruises.

I’ve covered that topic more times than I can count, mostly because the pattern just keeps repeating itself.

So what’s the truth here?

Did Elon get socked by his kid? Did he get into a West Wing brawl? Or is there something else going on?

You tell me.
