Musk slams influential Trump adviser: ‘He’s a snake’
- Elon Musk publicly called Trump personnel director Sergio Gor a 'snake' on June 19, 2025, amid ongoing tensions involving both men.
- The conflict arose after Gor vetoed Musk's ally for a key NASA role and Musk humiliated Gor in a tense March cabinet meeting.
- Gor, responsible for vetting 4,000 executive branch staff, reportedly had not submitted his own SF-86 security clearance paperwork.
- Musk's sharp rebuke followed a New York Post report accusing Gor of insufficient vetting, which the White House called baseless gossip defending Gor's compliance.
- This feud highlights underlying tensions within the Trump administration, particularly after Musk stepped down from his White House role in late May, which led to intensified public disputes between him and the administration.
