Steve Bannon is going bonkers over Elon Musk, David Sacks, and Peter Thiel. He called Elon Musk an “evil guy” and vowed to stop his influence over Trump.
That’s not even the worst of what he says. For example, he claims Elon Musk would take a check from Adolf Hitler. Bannon has no basis for that.
While I agree with Steve Bannon on most issues, I think he is wrong on this one. We need Elon Musk. We might not agree with him and other Democrat allies on many things, but we probably do on those issues they can help us solve.
Musk is raising awareness of our dire financial straits. He is helping explain to people who are in the dark that the interest on our extraordinary debt is an existential threat. We have financial bubbles everywhere. Musk is brilliant and his job is to find the waste in government with Vivek Ramaswamy. These two men can do it and deserve a shot.
Bannon and the War Room are only available on X and Rumble. They are now all over YouTube as the Left exploits the rift.
Bannon is worried that the camelions of the Left will suck in Donald Trump. Trump won’t fall for it. He’s using them for what they can do for America, and they are using him. So far, it looks like it might work.
The so-called war in Maga seems to be a few people against everyone else. Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer are opposed to Musk and Sacks, but most others are not.

We are all aware of the Musk-Sacks-Thiel-Zuckerberg past and what they could do, but I think most on the right are willing to give them a chance for the country’s sake.
Many of us think we need Musk’s help, and it’s fun to have brilliant people like this on our side for however long it lasts.
Hopefully, Bannon is wrong, but we should sleep with one eye open.

There are 2 sides to this.
(1) Musk behaved horribly. He wrote childish obscene posts. He was stating policy on private sector employment, an area he is NOT assigned to. That is an issue for the Labor Department, not him. Did he check with the Labor Department nominee first? Of course not. Trump put a gag order on such posts now. If Musk does this again, he will be gone. Musk’s mistake was incredible. It was also stupid, hence his image is damaged. Plus, he later called for salary equivalence in hiring H1Bs. That would cause corporations to hire more Americans instead. But Musk says the H1B program is vital for America. He caught himself in a huge contradiction, which no one seems to notice.
I know lots about the program, having seen it close up for 35 years. Lots of unqualified people are being hired. I never saw a brilliant one. I never saw one with unique qualifications. I got along with them well, so well, that I would joke with them that they were hired due to lower pay, and they would laugh and agree. Overall, they are very respectable people.
All Musk has is a BA in Physics (not a BS). It is a soft physics degree.
(2) Bannon is upset that Musk became a Trump insider, and he is not. Bannon is exploiting the major blunders that “Genius” Elon made. It’s OK for Bannon to keep the pressure on Musk to behave.
But, both Trump and Musk have criticized the H1B program in the past.
Musk has made some serious mistakes. The H-1b program has to go or completely change. I prefer it just goes. We have so many of these awful programs.
Musk has skin in the game he sided with Trump when all others sat on the side lines. Zuck Bezos and other are Johnny come lately.
