Vice President JD Vance pushed back the claims of tension between President Donald Trump’s cabinet members and billionaire Elon Musk, telling Fox News Thursday that the story was “not entirely true.”
Following the Cabinet Meeting on March 6, after discussing the role of Musk and the government’s Ministry of Government’s Department of Government’s Efficiency (Doge), Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Transport Secretary Shawn Duffy report that Musk has pressed the agency down. In “Ingraham’s Angle,” host Laura Ingraham asked whether Vance would check the report, whether the group “dropped things,” and raised suspicions of “tension” among the cabinets.

“I don’t think there’s tension. There’s certainly a disagreement from time to time,” Vance said. “We don’t intend to agree with all the issues within the administration, but the president was very clear. Elon does a great job. Clearly, I’m grateful for what he’s doing. I think Marco is doing an incredible job as Secretary of State.”
“I had high expectations. I think he actually exceeded those expectations. So the fact that you have disagreements at the meeting doesn’t mean you have inconsistencies,” Vance added. “That means you have to talk about this.”

“We don’t intend to have a government with a president sitting in a sleeping cabinet meeting while my wife runs the Cabinet meeting. We’re going to talk about the issue,” Vance said. “It bothers me that it leaked. To be clear, I don’t think the story was entirely true.”
“We need to have a conversation. We need to be able to talk to each other and solve these things without the random staff coming out.” “I think that’s what happened. It’s an American business, so I’ll continue to do presidential business.”
