“I Made It My Personal Thing To Take This Guy Down”: Bannon Vows To Keep Musk out of White House
Steve Bannon has warned that he will do everything in his power to keep Elon Musk out of the White House, as the fallout from the H-1B debate over Christmas continues to spread.
“I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon said, in an interview with the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera.
“He will not have a blue pass to the White House[;] he will not have full access to the White House[;] he will be like any other person.”
“He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down,” Bannon continued. “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it; I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.”
The newspaper notes that the “center of the clash” between Bannon and Musk is the issue of H-1B visas, but also Musk’s role in the incoming Trump administration.
“The problem is that the techno-feudal lords use them [H-1B visas] to their advantage[,] and people are furious,” Bannon says.
“76% of engineers in Silicon Valley are not Americans. It’s a central part of taking back our economy. They are the best jobs, and blacks and Hispanics do not have access to them.”
Bannon said that he had been a supporter of Musk when he made a donation of $250 million to support Trump’s election campaign, but the H-1B debate had made him realise Musk cannot be allowed to pursue his vision of “techno-feudalism.”
Well, well, well.
I'm not a fan of Steve Bannon, and while I'm firmly a Musk skeptic, I don't have nearly this much animosity against him.
