Steve Bannon Vows to Keep Elon Musk Out of White House, Calls Him 'Evil' and 'Racist'
Jan 12, 2025, 02:46 PM
Steve Bannon, former White House chief strategist, has declared war on Elon Musk, vowing to keep the tech billionaire out of the White House. In an interview with Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Bannon said Musk 'will not have a blue pass to the White House,' calling him 'a truly evil guy' and 'a very bad guy.' He pledged to 'take this guy down,' stating that 'before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it; I'm not prepared to tolerate it anymore.' Bannon criticized Musk, a South African native, questioning why 'the most racist people on earth, white South Africans' are influencing U.S. affairs. The feud appears to stem from Musk's alleged mocking of the MAGA movement as 'racist' and 'R-tards,' and disagreements over H-1B visa policies.
