If someone rubs their hands with the explosive divorce lived this Thursday between Elon Musk and Donald Trump is Steve Bannon. From the first moment the Ultra of nationalpopulism who was a strategist chief of the president in his first term and today remains close ally and confidant has led a sector that questions the alignment of Silicon Valley with the president. Bannon has always put Under suspicion of Musk’s fidelity and from that business avant -garde of technology to movement MAGA (acronym in English to make a large USA again) and Trump. And that’s why this Thursday hasn’t taken for shoot to kill against Tesla’s father and Space X.
Bannon, one of the most outstanding ideologues and voices of Trumpism, has suggested in an interview with ‘The New York Times’ that the government should “Start a formal investigation” of “immigration status” from Musk and has been “convinced that it is a illegal immigrant And it should be Deported from the country immediately”.
Old accusations, new proposals
It is not the first time that Bannon launches those accusations, relying on investigations as a published by ‘The Washington Post’, according to which Musk He started working illegally in the USwhere he later nationalized, because he had entered the country with a Student visa but He left studies to set up his first start-up. And in February, for example, I had called it “Parasitic immigrant.”
Both in that interview with the ‘Times’ and then in his podcast, War Room, Bannon has also proposed to the government Cancel all contracts with Musk companiesan idea that has already publicly considered Trump’s confrontation. And has even said that Trump “should NATIONALIZE SPACE X“, the Musk company that provides important services to the government.
Musk has not taken to respond either and has responded to the video with that proposal with an X message in which he has branded Bannon de “delayed”.
Bannon also has urged Trump’s government to investigate recent information about the frequent drug use of Musk, whose consumption of ketamine and other psychedelic substances, such as ecstasy y Psilocibinahe has recently returned to the spotlights for an article of the ‘Times’.
Distrust
Bannon Musk attacks come from afar and have the background of that distrust of the interests that beat after Alliance of the Silicon Valley oligarchy with Trump. He expressed it in February in an interview in CNN in which he said “these oligarchs They left the progressive left. They will abandon us And they will do the same. They seek power“He warned then.” Now they see that the numbers come out and that we have built a coalition and are with us, but only temporarily. “
Also in those days Bannon threw himself against Musk ensuring that he seeks to “impose his rare experiments and act like a god without any respect for the traditions, values or history of the country ”.
They were pronounced words shortly before coinciding the same day in the CPAC Conclave Conclave, where Bannon took the stage just after the appearance of Musk with the chainsaw that the Argentine President had given him, Javier Milei. And then Bannon moderated his attacks in the form, but did not stop attacking Musk. When the history books are written, he said, “They won’t remind me of Elon Musk, A Tucker Carlson Oa Sean Hannity. They will remember two things: Donald Trump and the Maga Movement. ”
In that appearance, as Musk had done the day of Trump’s possession in an act, Bannon made a Nazi greeting.
