WHOA! Steve Bannon UNLOADS on Elon Musk: “President Trump empowered him more than anyone’s ever been empowered, and people like me said you’re making a mistake—This is a bad guy—He’s going to turn on us” [VIDEO] | The Gateway Pundit– www.thegatewaypundit.com
When it comes to sharing his opinions on pretty much any topic, Steve Bannon has never been shy, and today, in defense of his good friend, Donald J. Trump, Bannon eviscerated the world’s wealthiest man, calling him ‘incompetent,” and suggesting Musk had no business receiving the kind of trust or praise Trump bestowed upon him.

Today, while speaking with two of his co-hosts, former US Congressman Dave Brat and social media personality Jack Posbiec, Steve Bannon appeared to have had enough of the very public feud between Elon Musk and President Trump and mercilessly unloaded on Musk.
“Elon Musk is working for himself,” Bannon told his co-hosts. The outspoken War Room icon explained, “President Trump empowered him more than anyone’s ever been empowered in this government! He [President Trump] had his back. Promoted this guy. And when people like me, who said, ‘You’re making a mistake! This is a bad guy! He’s gonna turn on you! He’s not with us. He’s also totally incompetent!’ And when President Trump said, ‘Hey, give this guy a shot!’ and I trust President Trump‘s judgment,” Bannon said and explained how he backed off “a little.” Bannon explained to his audience that as soon as Elon didn’t think he was running things or didn’t “get the adoration,” he “turned” on President Trump. But according to Bannon, Musk didn’t just turn on President Trump, “He [Musk] turned on the country—on the American people—and President Trump has had enough of it!”
Bannon, arguably one of the most important figures in the conservative culture, wasn’t finished sharing his disdain for Musk’s childish behavior because Trump’s “One Big Beautiful” bill wasn’t written the way Musk thought it should be written. He began to attack Trump on social media. Bannon suggested that Musk could have spoken with some of the top Republicans, with whom he has relationships, but instead, he began “tweeting the most vicious stuff you could tweet!” In Elon Musk’s attempt to score points in his social media war with President Trump, he tried to group him in “with those pedophiles on the [Epstein’s] island!” And then, Bannon really unloaded, saying, “He called for the president to be impeached and JD Vance to take his role!” Bannon continued, “As hard as we’ve worked in all the years! Some punk is gonna sit there and go, he should be impeached!?”
