The former Trump adviser accused the Tesla CEO of using his influence to push an agenda that disregards American traditions.

Summary

Steve Bannon intensified his attacks on Elon Musk, calling him a “parasitic illegal immigrant” and accusing him of undermining American traditions.

The feud highlights a growing divide among Trump loyalists as Musk, a key donor and adviser in Trump’s second term, leads DOGE.

Bannon criticized Musk’s handling of budget cuts and his reluctance to target Pentagon spending.

Musk dismissed Bannon’s remarks, while Trump defended Musk’s role.

      How is it a good point? There is no such thing as illegal immigrants. He’s just a typical rich parasite

        I mean, I’m not saying that this isn’t a valid opinion, but it’s certainly not a majority opinion.

          True, but you have to be grounded in reality and not get high on your own farts to be a political architect. If anything that is why he might be able to cause a schism in the magaverse. But yeahfuck him

        Not even remotely. What’s happened is that Bannon used to be the pusher of Trump’s more deranged strategies, but Trump upgraded to a much more aligned racist who also far better represents the people Trump wants to attract to his circle, spineless Oligarchs. You’re witnessing the jealousy of someone who built Trump walk away with all of his work and leaving him with none of the expected power.
