Donald Trump cut a reporter off mid-question when grilled about Elon Musk and Marco Rubio.
Showdown at the White House: Rubio and Musk Reportedly Clash
Tensions erupted at the White House on Thursday (March 6) as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and tech mogul Elon Musk allegedly came to blows, according to The New York Post.
Musk, who heads the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), reportedly confronted Rubio, accusing him of refusing to reduce his staff. Sources claim Musk criticized Rubio for failing to fire “a single person.”
The friction between the two has reportedly been brewing for some time. The Post reports that Rubio has been fuming ever since Musk’s DOGE team effectively shut down an entire agency that was supposedly under Rubio’s jurisdiction.
Stay tuned as this political power struggle unfolds!

Trump Shuts Down Reporter Amid Musk-Rubio Clash Rumors
Amid swirling reports of tensions between Elon Musk and Marco Rubio, President Donald Trump addressed the situation yesterday (March 7) — and he didn’t hold back.
When NBC journalist Gabe Gutierrez attempted to ask Trump about the alleged feud, the president swiftly — and fiercely — shot him down.
“No clash. I was there. You’re just a troublemaker,” Trump fumed.
He continued, scolding Gutierrez: “You’re not supposed to be asking that question, because we’re talking about the World Cup.”
The president insisted there was no bad blood between the two figures: “Elon gets along great with Marco, and they’re both doing a fantastic job. There is no clash.”
Moments later, Trump demanded to know which outlet Gutierrez represented. Upon hearing it was NBC, Trump sneered: “Ugh, no wonder. That’s enough. NBC.” Ouch.
Despite the heated exchange, Trump later described the meeting as “very positive” on Truth Social.
“We just had a meeting with most of the Secretaries, Elon, and others, and it was a very positive one,” Trump wrote.
He emphasized the importance of balancing efficiency with retaining top talent: “It’s very important that we cut levels down to where they should be, but it’s also important to keep the best and most productive people.”
Trump concluded by promising biweekly meetings to ensure progress, adding: “The relationships between everybody in that room are extraordinary. They all want to get to the exact same place — which is, simply, to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
The Golden Age of America has just begun! Over the past six weeks, our Administration has delivered on promises like no Administration before it, always putting America First! DOGE has been an incredible success, and now that we have my Cabinet in place, I have instructed the Secretaries and Leadership to work with DOGE on Cost Cutting measures and Staffing. As the Secretaries learn about, and understand, the people working for the various Departments, they can be very precise as to who will remain, and who will go. We say the “scalpel” rather than the “hatchet.” The combination of them, Elon, DOGE, and other great people will be able to do things at a historic level.
We just had a meeting with most of the Secretaries, Elon, and others, and it was a very positive one. It’s very important that we cut levels down to where they should be, but it’s also important to keep the best and most productive people. We’re going to have these meetings every two weeks until that aspect of this very necessary job is done. The relationships between everybody in that room are extraordinary. They all want to get to the exact same place, which is, simply, to MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN
Trump Praises DOGE’s ‘Incredible Success’ as Savings Soar
In his recent post, President Trump couldn’t stop raving about the ‘incredible success’ of Elon Musk’s Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
According to DOGE’s latest figures, the agency has reportedly saved a staggering $105 billion as of March 5 — a significant jump from the $65 billion reported just weeks earlier on February 24.
While these numbers are impressive, questions remain about their accuracy. Outlets like The New York Times have raised concerns, claiming the DOGE website is allegedly “riddled with mistakes” — leaving some skeptical about the department’s true impact.
For now, Trump’s praise suggests he’s firmly in Musk’s corner as the DOGE drama continues to unfold.
