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.
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.
