From the Daily Mail: It’s no secret that Steve Bannon, once a top aide to Donald Trump, isn’t a fan of the president-elect’s newest buddy Elon Musk.
But Bannon took his criticism even further last week, telling an Italian newspaper that he will take the billionaire down before Trump’s Inauguration day this month.
The comments were basically a declaration of war against the Tesla, SpaceX and X boss who has strategically placed himself within the innermost circle of the incoming president and the latest in Bannon’s attacks on him.
‘I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,’ Bannon told the Italian ouetlet Corriere della Sera in an interview translated on the conservative site Breitbart.
“Musk will not have a blue pass to the White House, he will not have full access to the White House, he will be like any other person,” Bannon declared, adding, “He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down.”
At the heart of the current clash between Bannon and Musk is Musk’s recent defense of the H-1B visa program.
It is unclear why Bannon was speaking with the Italian news outlet, but he told Corriere della Sera journalist Viviana Mazza, “Peter Thiel, David Sachs, Elon Musk, are all white South Africans. He should go back to South Africa. 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?”
“We have been fighting this fight for ten years,” Bannon continued. “We are going to expose the entire corruption of the American system, of how money controls everything and hopefully we’ll inspire you in Italy to wake up.”
