Genesis of the Trump Musk Feud
Timothy Birdnow
So why did this blowup occur between Musk and Trump? Here's why.
That is a very good reason to chuck the friend of Chuck's. Gor might well have done America a good service here.
Trump apparently still hasn't fully learned his lesson; you can no more put Democrats in positions of authority in your adminisstration than you can sleep with rattle snakes in your sleeping bag. Inevitably they will bite you.
As head of NASA this Isaacman guy would likely have reinforced all the things that NASA has been doing to America; all the "climate change" lies will be front and center as this guy would likely begin pushing that particular agenda and fudging data as NASA has repeatedly been caught doing. He'll likely support Netzero emissions and other idiocies. He probably would support DEI hiring at NASA.
We have to cut these kinds of people completely out of power; they always metastasize when they have any authority.
And I mean really; the man's name is Gor. We all remember Al Gore, don't we? What an inconvenient goof.
So why did this blowup occur between Musk and Trump? Here's why.
In a lengthy piece, the New York Post took readers behind the scenes at the White House to identify a top Trump staffer who’d been "fanning flames” of conflict between the two.
And Musk and the staffer had been at loggerheads for months, the Post reported.
Citing interviews with five unidentified sources, described as "inside or close to the White House,” 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’s inauguration in January.
During the presidential transition period, Musk had described Gor as "sleazy,” according to the Post, and "questioning his staffing picks.”
At a March 6 cabinet meeting, the paper reported, Musk attacked Gor in front of the president.
"Elon was always telling the president ‘Sergio’s not moving fast enough to hire people. He’s not the right guy for the job,’” one source told the Post. "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?’”
For his part, Gor made a habit of mocking Musk, according to the Post, especially when stock dropped in Tesla, Musk’s electric vehicle company. He would also "plant” negative stories about Musk, one source told the Post.
"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,” the source said, according to the Post. "I own Tesla stock, so this is not a good thing for me!

The tipping point of the feud, however, came on Saturday when Trump announced he was pulling the nomination of Jared Isaacman, a space entrepreneur personal friend of Musk, to be the head of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
Isaacman’s nomination had already been approved by the Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportation, which oversees NASA, and, according to Axios, his eventual confirmation by the full Senate was all but assured.
Gor was "instrumental” in getting Trump to pull the nomination, according to the Post.
And that Trump decision, as the Post put it, turned "a contained disagreement on legislation into a firestorm of insults.”
Gor’s 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.
