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.

Pot, meet Kettle. You two have so much in common.
The H1B visa blow-up is the plutocrat wing championed by musk getting their way over the more strict white supremacists represented by bannon.
So why did bannon call musk racist - which counts as complement for their base - rather than a race-traitor, which their supporters would agree is bad?
Does he think non-magaites will only now realize musk is massively racist and jump on team bannon? I truly do not understand.
He is left language to try and be heard outside the right… It’s making the headlines, so it’s working to a certain extent
Sure, it’s definitely making headlines. But it doesn’t seem… purposeful I guess? Who is the target audience for this message? How does it possibly further bannon’s interests?
I can’t imagine any of musk’s support being eroded because bannon thinks he’s racist, and no one left of mussolini is gonna join team bannon.
Monkeys throw poop. You can probably find KKK members that think to themselves “I’m not racist, it’s just that {insert race slur of choice} is the problem”. Bannon is trying to give them targets.
Love it when the hyenas starts eating eachothers.
He’s AGAINST racism now? Strange.
Someone’s jealous of daddies attention
Notice me, Daddy!
Sounds awfully woke
Ah, the racist’s racist.
Oh my god
Literally going for the “racism is a crime, and crime is for black people” approach.
Just the idea of The Night of Long Knives Part II: Holy Shit You Idiots Did It Again keeps me going sometimes
I never thought I would live to see the day when ranked competitive racism made its triumphant return
he’s complaining like a plat jealous of gm. shouldn’t sell himself short; he’s at least diamond to masters level racist
maybe they’re worried he’s boosting his racism like he did with poe
NA Racists getting angry about pros from other regions ruining the local scene
That’s about what I expect from Bannon, yeah.
Makes me sick that I agree with Steve Bannon on something.
A “stopped clock” and all that I guess…
I didn’t think it was possible to sound racist while disparaging racists. 🤯
And if anyone would know an evil racist, it’d be someone who looks at one in a mirror every day.
Takes one to know one, I guess?
Pot, kettle, etc.
Throw some corn in there and crank up the heat.
Who cares, fuck Bannon. People worth listening to say it too, let’s talk about them and not give Bannon attention.
Fan of Camp of the Saints, calling others racist? Crazy world we live in
Kids, you’re all just terrible.
