Steve Bannon Vows to 'Take Down' Elon Musk, Calls Him 'Racist' and Aims to Bar Him from White House
Jan 13, 2025, 10:46 AM
Steve Bannon, former chief strategist to President-elect Donald Trump, has launched a public attack on billionaire Elon Musk, calling him 'a truly evil guy' and 'racist'. Bannon pledged to 'take this guy down' and vowed to limit Musk's influence in the incoming administration. In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Bannon stated, 'He will not have a blue pass to the White House, he will not have full access to the White House.' He criticized Musk's South African origins, saying, '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 also accused Musk of mocking the MAGA movement, stating that Musk 'went out of his way to mock our movement as racist and retards.' The conflict appears to stem from Musk's advocacy for H-1B visas and concerns over his influence on Trump's policies. Bannon's remarks highlight a growing rift within the MAGA movement ahead of Trump's inauguration.
