Steve Bannon, a former chief strategist to the White House who is now a popular conservative commentator, has reportedly criticized Elon Musk, a billionaire, for his efforts to diminish the size of the federal government and gain more power in the United States.
“Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. He wants to impose his freak experiment and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, tradition or values.” Bannon remarked.
As the tech entrepreneur has grown closer to President Trump, Bannon, a fervent populist who has used his highly following podcast “War Room” to rail against the “elites” in society, has escalated his attacks on Musk. Bannon’s program has garnered a very large number of listeners.
Musk is not someone who should be trusted, he has warned Trump’s fans, and he has argued that there is a “fundamental chasm” between the billionaires who have linked themselves with the president and his “Make America Great Again” movement.
It has been asserted by both the CEO of Tesla and President Trump that Democrats and media outlets are attempting to put a wedge between them.
“We will break these guys,” Bannon said during a new episode of his podcast discussing the rise of tech oligarchs like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg and others.
Over the course of his tenure as director of the newly established Department of Government Efficiency, the President has often expressed his support for Musk and his work.
