Summary

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon criticized Elon Musk, calling him “racist” and “truly evil,” over Musk’s support for H-1B visas and immigration policies.

Bannon, pledging to “take this guy down,” vowed to block Musk’s White House influence in Trump’s new administration.

Musk, a major Trump donor, had been rewarded with advisory roles but faced backlash from MAGA supporters opposing immigration.

Bannon also attacked Musk’s wealth-driven motives, accusing him of promoting “techno-feudalism,” and called for Musk to “go back to South Africa,” targeting his heritage.

    Steve Bannon isn’t calling Musk “racist” as much as he’s saying Musk’s the wrong type of racist. I hope these two feud for a long time.

      Exactly. When Bannon says that word he means “Elon’s not hiring enough white people.”

      For real, lmao. Absolutely none of it is over the actual racist shit he’s done, this is just more white nationalist chest beating.
