The civil war sundering the Republican party continues. Steve Bannon minces no words in his hatred of Elon Musk.
“I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon, a former Trump White House adviser, told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera in an interview published on Wednesday. The article was flagged on Saturday by Bannon’s former employer, Breitbart, which published excerpts in English.
“He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down,” Bannon said. “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it; I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.”
I am made extremely uncomfortable by my agreement with Steve Bannon, and I hope he and Musk engage in a game of mutual annihilation. I also appreciate all the irony he is delivering.
In addition to Musk, Bannon blasted David Sacks and Peter Thiel, who also have roots in apartheid South Africa.
“Peter Thiel, David Sacks, Elon Musk, are all white South Africans,” Bannon said. “He should go back to South Africa. Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, white South Africans, we have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?”
You know, Bannon’s gripe with Musk is over those H-1B visas, that allows some well-educated brown people to live and work (and be exploited) in the USA, polluting his vision of an all-white America — yet white South Africans are the most racist people? Come on, guy. Racists are diverse, too, and both Bannon and Musk are equally racist, just in different ways. Racism is a spectrum, ranging from red-faced, rummy-nosed blustering MAGAts to pale flabby bros with sketchy facial hair. Kumbaya! Now go murder each other. I don’t want to see anything left but a pair of tails.
..and if B R Myers is correct in The Cleanest Race North Korea could give racism lessons to just about everybody!
No matter who wins between the Musk and Bannon MAGAt factions we still lose. One week left…
@Hemidactylus #2:
Hopefully they’ll cripple each other in their little fascist handbags-at-dawn maul.
Rooting for fatalities!
Musk vs. Bannon: flamethrowers at 5 paces.
Snarki, Bannon would never agree to that. Alcohol fumes are flammable.
Another variation on settler vs extraction colonialism.
“Do we get rid of Them or enslave Them?”
I am made extremely uncomfortable by my agreement with Steve Bannon, and I hope he and Musk engage in a game of mutual annihilation.
As Beginyahu has sometimes said, “I wish great success to both sides!”
(OT) Going off on a tangent about truly despicable monsters:
Tories are claiming they are the champions against child abuse. (Crossposted) “Tories Covered Up Abuse for Years – Why?”

Victoria Atkins in 2018 blocked a move to make reporting of suspected child abuse mandatory. She is today part of the conservative ‘shadow cabinet’.
