Summary
Steve Bannon intensified his attacks on Elon Musk, calling him a “parasitic illegal immigrant” and accusing him of undermining American traditions.
The feud highlights a growing divide among Trump loyalists as Musk, a key donor and adviser in Trump’s second term, leads DOGE.
Bannon criticized Musk’s handling of budget cuts and his reluctance to target Pentagon spending.
Musk dismissed Bannon’s remarks, while Trump defended Musk’s role.
Not even remotely. What’s happened is that Bannon used to be the pusher of Trump’s more deranged strategies, but Trump upgraded to a much more aligned racist who also far better represents the people Trump wants to attract to his circle, spineless Oligarchs. You’re witnessing the jealousy of someone who built Trump walk away with all of his work and leaving him with none of the expected power.
