"A truly evil guy": Bannon bashes Musk as MAGA infighting continues

Salon  

Former Trump adviser Steve Bannon doesn't like the man who currently has the president-elect's ear. Bannon went nuclear on Elon Musk in an interview with Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera earlier this week, telling the outlet he wants to have Musk "run out of here by Inauguration Day." “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it; I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.” Related The return of crony capitalism Bannon and Musk's feud began over the Tesla head's support of H-1B visas, and Bannon still cites that as his biggest problem with the nebulous Trump appointee. “This thing of the H-1B visas, it’s about the entire immigration system is gamed by the tech overlords, they use it to their advantage, the people are furious,” Bannon shared, before saying that Musk should "go back to South Africa." Bannon said that Musk has "the maturity of a little boy" and worried about the billionaire's meddling in other countries' elections, saying Musk is implementing "techno-feudalism on a global scale."
