This feud isn’t going away anytime soon…
President-elect Donald Trump’s former adviser Steve Bannon is not afraid to publicly go to battle against billionaire businessman Elon Musk, calling him “truly evil” during a recent interview.
In an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera, as highlighted by Mediaite, Bannon sharply criticized Musk, who was tapped by Trump to co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency.”
“I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon said. “He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down.”
Trump is set to take office for the second time next Monday. Musk’s influence in the next administration remains unclear but he has been tapped to help lead the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) which is tasked with cutting wasteful government spending.
Bannon criticized Musk over the continued debate over H-1B visas. Musk is supportive of the work program that allows the U.S. to attract international talent. Trump’s base, however, is not supportive of the program, fueling a fight over the topic.
Musk himself was once an H-1B visa holder, as he is from South Africa.
“This thing of the H-1B visas, it’s about the entire immigration system is gamed by the tech overlords, they use it to their advantage, the people are furious,” Bannon said.
He slammed Musk’s heritage, calling South Africans the most racist people on Earth.
“He should go back to South Africa,” Bannon said. “Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on Earth, white South Africans, we have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?”
Bannon continued to pile on the criticism, saying Musk has a maturity of a “little boy” and only has an interest in increasing his wealth.
Steve is going to lose this one.
Agree
Sounds to me like Steve is the one we can do without. The base is against illegal immigrants, not legal ones.
Okay so why does Bannon hate Musk? Wish the article explained that.
I don’t disagree with Steve Bannon, however, Musk put too much money into Trump’s campaign not to receive something back in return. My opinion.
Tell what U know about Musk then explain actions
Does Trump see what U see?
What gives
I like Steve Bannon and I like Elon Musk. Both present ideas worthy of consideration. Both are gifted with minds that are creative, aware, and intrepid. And I know Trump knows the secret of enlisting such minds to sculpt the best avenue of approach to long-standing challenges. I know Trump also has a acute discernment to ferret out sycophants. Neither Bannon nor Musk are currying favor. They don’t have to. Let’s give each an opportunity to present and judge at that time what ideas carry the benefit of vision and promise for America.
This is not a good time to do this.
What, Bannon thinks Trump has to get his OK, or something?
No Bannon thinks Trump has to get Elon’s ok. and he’s right.
Steve is right. Hope he succeeds. See why: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y-erGt0LsU
I have been cautious and have had doubts about Musk, the first thing is, he is an Atheist and he is a loose cannon. He said something Despicable and I thought that was unexceptable to say to Steve Bannon. I wish President Trump would give Elons donations back and look for someone else. Elon is on the Spectrum and doesn’t control his mouth, being wealthy is not a license to do what you want !
I agree. Check out a sci fi book called “Project Mars: A Technical Tale” by Werner Von Braun, and Musk’s family’s connection to it. The “Great Leader of Mars” in the book is called “The Elon.” Von Braun was one of the german rocket scientists brought into the US after WWII under Operation Paperclip. Elon was named after the character in the book, at the behest of his grandpa. Check out what grandpa was a member of. Elon was inculcated from birth with the idea of world domination (by him). Notice how Trump is suddenly wanting to annex Greenland and Canada and Mexico? Google the 1949 map of the New World Order. That’s no joke, that’s Elon’s influence. He’s already getting billions from the government, Space X is part of the Pentagon spy satellite system.
