Americans looking for the cause of Thursday\u2019s explosion between President Donald Trump and billionaire businessman Elon Musk got at least one answer from a news report published Friday.<\/p>\n

In a lengthy piece, the New York Post took readers behind the scenes at the White House to identify a top Trump staffer who\u2019d been \u201cfanning flames\u201d of conflict between the two<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And Musk and the staffer had been at loggerheads for months, the Post reported.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Citing interviews with five unidentified sources, described as \u201cinside or close to the White House,\u201d the Post reported that Sergio Gor, the director of presidential personnel, was known to have been involved in an ongoing feud with Musk dating back to even before Trump\u2019s inauguration in January.<\/p>\n

During the presidential transition period, Musk had described Gor as \u201csleazy,\u201d according to the Post, and \u201cquestioning his staffing picks.\u201d<\/p>\n

At a March 6 cabinet meeting, the paper reported, Musk attacked Gor in front of the president.<\/p>\n

\u201cElon was always telling the president \u2018Sergio\u2019s not moving fast enough to hire people. He\u2019s not the right guy for the job,\u2019\u201d one source told the Post. \u201cIn front of the entire cabinet, he said that. It\u2019s not just humiliating, but the president starts looking at him like, \u2018Why aren\u2019t you doing your f***ing job?\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

For his part, Gor made a habit of mocking Musk, according to the Post, especially when stock dropped in Tesla, Musk\u2019s electric vehicle company. He would also \u201cplant\u201d negative stories about Musk, one source told the Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cElon 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\u2019s stock price with a laughing face,\u201d the source said, according to the Post. \u201cI own Tesla stock, so this is not a good thing for me!<\/p>\n

\u201cIt showed how intense that fight had become, and how committed and obsessed with it Sergio was, and that\u2019s what I don\u2019t think anybody has really captured.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gor was also bent on revenge, one source told the Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was bragging to other people that he was going to get one last shot at Elon out the door,\u201d the source said, according to the newspaper. \u201cHe was going to get Elon back for making him look bad.\u201d<\/p>\n

Musk officially left White House service on Friday, and all appeared amicable between him and Trump, despite Musk\u2019s public criticisms<\/a> of the \u201cBig, Beautiful Bill\u201d that has become Trump\u2019s most important political priority<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The tipping point of the feud, however, came on Saturday when Trump announced he was pulling the nomination of Jared Isaacman, a space entrepreneur<\/a> personal friend of Musk, to be the head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.<\/p>\n

Isaacman\u2019s nomination had already been approved<\/a> by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, which oversees NASA, and, according to Axios<\/a>, his eventual confirmation by the full Senate was all but assured.<\/p>\n

Gor was \u201cinstrumental\u201d in getting Trump to pull the nomination, according to the Post.<\/p>\n

And that Trump decision, as the Post put it, turned \u201ca contained disagreement on legislation into a firestorm of insults.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gor\u2019s reasoning for opposing Isaacman was his past support of Democrats, according to the Post. In 2021, for instance, he gave $100,000 to a PAC supporting then-Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer.<\/p>\n

In a statement to the Post, Gor denied he ever sought revenge against Musk or celebrated Tesla stock dropping, the newspaper reported.<\/p>\n

As to the Isaacman nomination, he had no apologies.<\/p>\n

\u201cI fully support President Donald Trump\u2019s decision to remove this nominee,\u201d he said in the statement, according to the Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose who actively supported Democrats in the last cycle have no place in this administration. This was never about Elon, it\u2019s about someone who doesn\u2019t agree with America First Principles.\u201d<\/p>\n

Steve Bannon, the conservative commentator who served as a strategist in the first Trump White House is a Gor supporter who downplayed the whole premise of the report, according to the Post.<\/p>\n

And he made it clear where he stood in the whole controversy.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s the president and Elon. This has nothing to do with Sergio Gor. Sergio Gor is a staffer that the president has to do things,\u201d Bannon said, according to the Post.<\/p>\n

\u201cDid Elon have a problem with Sergio? Yes, the fact that we are not hiring enough \u2014 guess what? \u2014 liberal f***king progressive Democrats.\u201d<\/p>\n
