Steve Bannon’s Elon Musk feud shows that his aims go beyond Donald Trump.
SlateThis is part of Hello, Trumpworld, Slate’s reluctant guide to the people who will be calling the shots now—at least for as long as they last in Washington. Steve Bannon, the scruffy MAGA populist known for railing against immigration and bullying centrist Republicans, reached the height of his power at the beginning of the first Trump administration—and quickly fell. Although Bannon worships Trump, he has enough of his own ideological vision to be more than a sycophant clinging to a powerful man’s coattails. He may not formally return to the White House, but Bannon will use this moment to push his provocateur allies in positions of power toward a stark “America First” agenda. Most important, he’ll continue to hammer the intellectual arguments for the kind of pure, nativist-populist version of the MAGA agenda that he sees as key to building a lasting political movement.
