The friction between Musk and Boris Epshteyn surfaced in public last week, signaling a rivalry stemming from Musk's growing influence on the president-elect.
Musk has questioned whether Epshteyn has had too much influence in Trump's selections, especially his top Justice Department picks and the White House counsel.
Their rocky relationship came to a head last Wednesday during a heated discussion at a dinner table in front of other guests at Trump's Mar-a-Lago club.
Musk accused Epshteyn of leaking details of Trump's transition - including personnel picks - to the media, to which Epshteyn replied he didn't know what Musk was talking about.
