In the presence of US President Donald Trump, DOGE chief Elon Musk and Foreign Minister Mark Rubio had an argument in a cabinet meeting on Thursday. This claim has been made in a report by the New York Times. More than 20 officers were present on this occasion. According to the report, there was an argument between the two on the issue of staff reduction. Musk accused the Foreign Minister in the meeting that he has not been able to reduce the number of staff in his department. To this, Rubio said that Musk is lying. Trump defended the Foreign Minister, said – he is doing a good job. Rubio called Musk a liar and said – 1,500 State Department employees have taken early retirement. Will they not be counted in the layoffs? Does Musk want to re-hire all those staff, so that he can pretend to fire them again? Musk was not affected by this argument of the Foreign Minister. He told Rubio that you look good only on TV. During the debate between Musk and Rubio, President Trump initially sat on his chair with folded hands. When the debate between the two intensified, Trump defended Rubio and said that he is doing a very good job. Trump said- Rubio has a lot of things to do. He is very busy. He always travels and has to give time on TV as well. That is why everyone needs to work together. Foreign Minister is angry with Musk According to the report, Rubio has been angry with Musk for several weeks. Actually, Musk’s team has closed an agency, United States Agency for International Development. This agency was under the responsibility of Rubio. Musk closed the entire agency without taking Rubio into confidence. According to the report, many other members of Trump’s team are also angry with Musk. This meeting was suddenly called only after their complaints. This meeting was scheduled just a day before on Wednesday evening. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant was not present in it. There have been reports of clashes between Bessant and Musk many times before. During the meeting, the President indicated that he supports Musk’s mission, but from now on, the Secretary of any department will be in charge and Musk’s team will just give advice. Trump said – there was no debate However, when reporters asked Trump about this debate in the Oval Office on Friday, he denied it. Trump said, ‘There was no debate, I was there. You should not have asked this question. You are a troublemaker.’ He said – Musk and Rubio have a good relationship. Both of them are doing a great job.
