Bannon is high on my list of up there and trustables. I do recognize Ephsteyn's name from the year i tuned in to the Warroom.

The fact that the story came through Axios - negative marker

(meaning its an indicator that the news is flawed, fake or some sort of deployment)

Ephsteyn and Trump go a long way back, his association with Bannon is a positive indicator in my view - hints that possibly Ephsteyn is a lot more closely connected to the inner workings of the info war than his public appearance indicates

Musk vs Ephsteyn - perfectly designed to distract and draw attention - like a big juicy UFC fight

My initial guess - this 'Musk vs Ephsteyn' will prove to be 'fake news' within 72 hours, further indicating unreliability of leftist propaganda legacy media to the public, plus possibly actually flushing out real moles in the Trump team network.
