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.

      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

      I didn’t think it was possible to sound racist while disparaging racists. 🤯

        he’s complaining like a plat jealous of gm. shouldn’t sell himself short; he’s at least diamond to masters level racist

        maybe they’re worried he’s boosting his racism like he did with poe

      Makes me sick that I agree with Steve Bannon on something.

      A “stopped clock” and all that I guess…

    Bannon’s just mad that he’s not part if the Trump “in-crowd” anymore and the government looting train is leaving without him on 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.

    And if anyone would know an evil racist, it’d be someone who looks at one in a mirror every day.

    The H1B visa blow-up is the plutocrat wing championed by musk getting their way over the more strict white supremacists represented by bannon.

    So why did bannon call musk racist - which counts as complement for their base - rather than a race-traitor, which their supporters would agree is bad?

    Does he think non-magaites will only now realize musk is massively racist and jump on team bannon? I truly do not understand.

      He is left language to try and be heard outside the right… It’s making the headlines, so it’s working to a certain extent

        Sure, it’s definitely making headlines. But it doesn’t seem… purposeful I guess? Who is the target audience for this message? How does it possibly further bannon’s interests?

        I can’t imagine any of musk’s support being eroded because bannon thinks he’s racist, and no one left of mussolini is gonna join team bannon.

          Monkeys throw poop. You can probably find KKK members that think to themselves “I’m not racist, it’s just that {insert race slur of choice} is the problem”. Bannon is trying to give them targets.

          There are some people on the right who like to tell themselves that they’re not racists, and cling to that shit whenever possible. I think he is speaking directly to those people.
