00:00Absolutely crazy story out of Washington, D.C. that I need you guys to hear about.
00:03Okay, so today, Thursday, April 24th, Elon Musk got into a screaming match with the Treasury Secretary.
00:10Over what?
00:11Well, Elon Musk took a memo that he wrote with nobody else's knowledge and gave it to President Trump to sign.
00:21What was the memo?
00:22The memo was to name the acting director of the IRS.
00:27Yes, Elon Musk did not let any senators know.
00:31He did not let anybody in the cabinet know.
00:33He, a private unelected citizen, gave a memo to the President to change who the acting director of the IRS was.
00:41Who did he pick?
00:43He picked an IRS whistleblower who blew the whistle on Hunter Biden.
00:47And the Treasury Secretary wanted a different guy to lead the IRS and wanted him to go through an actual approval process.
00:55And so when the Treasury Secretary found out that Musk had went above his head, he got into a screaming match with Elon Musk.
01:02And as people told Axios reporters, it was like a WWE-style SmackDown, in a way.
01:08And that an aide had to physically get between these two men, these two billionaires, to keep them from going to blows.
01:14Because Elon Musk, a private, unelected citizen, chose who got to lead the IRS.
01:20And Trump just signed it away.
01:24Happy Thursday, everybody.
