100 Percent Fed Up
Hits: 5

A new report out today is now claiming that the Trump/Musk feud was stoked in large part due to Sergio Gor, President Trump’s Director of Presidential Personnel.

Take a look here:

 

Here’s a quick summary if you prefer bullet points, and then I’ll dive even deeper for you:

  • Sergio Gor, Trump’s director of presidential personnel, is blamed for fueling Trump’s recent fallout with Elon Musk by repeatedly seeking “payback” and mocking Tesla’s stock drops.

  • Gor reportedly urged Trump to yank Jared Isaacman’s NASA nomination, sparking a public clash; Isaacman is a close Musk ally who donated to Democrats.

  • Musk and Gor clashed for months, with Musk calling Gor “sleazy” and criticizing his staffing pace during a Cabinet meeting, embarrassing Gor.

  • Gor celebrated Tesla stock declines, frequently mocking Musk to colleagues and sharing screenshots and news links around the White House.

  • Sources say Gor was “obsessed” with undermining Musk, planting stories and mocking Musk’s photo ops with Trump.

  • Steve Bannon downplayed Gor’s role, blaming the feud on deeper issues like tariffs, Pentagon access, and Musk’s criticisms of Trump’s policies.

  • Musk and Trump were friendly as recently as May 30, when Musk was honored with a symbolic key to the White House.

  • The feud escalated only after Isaacman’s nomination was withdrawn, with Musk blasting Trump’s legislation and Trump threatening to cut funding to Musk’s companies.

  • One source called the incident the “modern-day equivalent of Franz Ferdinand’s assassination,” saying Gor’s grudge ignited a political firestorm.

  • Some in the White House fear Gor’s actions have damaged Republican unity, pushing away key allies like Musk and fostering internal chaos.

    The NY Post also reveals that Gor was reportedly behind the termination of Jared Isaacman’s nomination to be NASA Director, another sore spot for Elon Musk who supported him:

    A top White House aide is catching the blame for helping trigger President Trump’s fiery clash with Elon Musk — after speaking for months about giving the billionaire “payback” and even gloating to colleagues when Tesla’s stock price dropped, The Post has learned.

    Sergio Gor, Trump’s director of presidential personnel, was instrumental in the president’s decision late Saturday to yank the nomination of Musk’s personal friend Jared Isaacman to be NASA administrator, turning a contained disagreement on legislation into a firestorm of insults, five sources inside or close to the White House tell The Post.

    Isaacman’s donations to Democrats — including $100,000 in 2021 to a PAC linked to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) — would disqualify most nominees under Gor’s standard vetting process. But Isaacman wasn’t pulled by Trump until hours after Musk left his unpaid White House role, at Gor’s urging.

    Musk was Trump’s top financial backer in the 2024 election and this week’s clash has put the president’s legislative agenda at risk — and even threatens long-term political damage after Musk endorsed Trump’s potential impeachment.

    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?’”

    Another said: “Sergio was upset about Elon dressing him down at the meeting and said he was going to ‘get him’. [Isaacman’s nomination being pulled] was the modern-day equivalent of the assassination of Franz Ferdinand. Sure, Sergio got a scalp, but what did [Trump] get?”

    Three sources say Gor’s intensely personal dislike of Musk was illustrated by his periodic celebrations when Tesla’s stock cratered.

    “He’d go around showing Tesla stock prices going down and laugh about it, like he was responsible for taking the Tesla stock down,” one source revealed, adding that Gor would “randomly” bring up the topic inside the West Wing and the Oval Office — even calling up the “Stocks” app on his phone whenever an uncomplimentary story about the mogul emerged.

    The other said they heard from Gor repeatedly when Tesla stock tumbled, saying the official would text screenshots of the Wall Street thumping to friends along with negative articles about Musk.

    A third source described in detail two text messages that they received from Gor mocking Tesla’s share price fluctuation.

    “Elon was, like, his obsession, and he would plant a story on Elon and he would send me the link and then send me a screenshot of Tesla’s stock price with a laughing face,” this person said. “I own Tesla stock, so this is not a good thing for me!

    “It showed how intense that fight had become, and how committed and obsessed with it Sergio was, and that’s what I don’t think anybody has really captured.”

    But not everyone agrees.

    Most notably Steve Bannon says the report is completely bunk and Bannon supports Gor, calling him one of President Trump’s closest allies:
