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.”

      Just remember his version of racism is against white people… So you might agree with the term he is using, I bet you would not agree on how me defines it

    “Listen, I’m evil. I hang out with other people who are evil. So be assured I know what evil is, and Elon is truly evil,” said Bannon, probably.

    Who cares, fuck Bannon. People worth listening to say it too, let’s talk about them and not give Bannon attention.

      That’s just for us legal Mexican American people. The “illegals” get shot by the new satellite system with free WiFi!

      Illegals… Just imagine one day, you’re all grown up and somebody informs you that you are illegal… Not that you’ve done something illegal, you as a whole are a specifically corrupt thing.

    If either of them said that if myself I’d wear it as a badge of honor knowing I did something to piss them off.

    I mean banon literally sold a bridge (wall) to mouth gaping imbeciles and went to jail for it. Who the fuck is he calling evil?
