'Least offensive': Bannon gives Musk tepid praise — but warns oligarchs will flip on MAGA

Raw Story  

Staunch Trump ally Steve Bannon offered tepid praise to tech billionaire Elon Musk after repeatedly dragging the chair of the Department of Government Efficiency. Bannon said Musk is “probably, on the oligarch side, the least offensive, as far as that goes," according to CNN. “I thought Elon’s answers were fine, right?” Bannon said when asked to respond to Musk’s eyebrow-raising appearance at CPAC. “I don’t agree with Elon on everything, but the one thing I do think is very powerful is DOGE are like, it’s like a shock to the system, right?” Bannon has rebuked Musk in recent weeks, including calling him a "parasitic illegal immigrant" who wants to "impose his freak experiments and act as God without any respect for the country's history, values, or traditions."
