Elon Musk is back to criticizing President Donald Trump’s administration, less than two weeks after a bout of insults followed by apologies.
This time, the Tesla mogul called top adviser Sergio Gor “a snake” on social media.
As Musk was exiting his position leading the Department of Government Efficiency, he took potshots at Trump and his signature big beautiful bill, Breitbart reported.
Following his screed, Musk would eventually post to X that he perhaps “went too far” in his posts.
Now he’s back at it again, this time focusing his ire on Gor, who did not apply for lifetime security clearances despite being in the position to grant them to others as director of the White House personnel office.
“He’s a snake,” Musk posted under an article shared on X about the issue.

The criticism is unfounded, as White House counsel David Warrington pointed out in response to the charge.
“Mr. Gor is fully compliant with all applicable ethical and legal obligations,” Warrington stated.
“His security clearance is active; any insinuation he doesn’t maintain a clearance is false.”
Vice President J.D. Vance also spoke in favor of Gor
