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]

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!?”

Bannon finally warned that it won’t be long before Democrats begin to cozy up to Musk and before we know it, “He’ll write a $500 million check for Hakeem Jefferies—He’ll be across the thing, looking to impeach President Trump—looking to help steal the ’28 election!” Bannon didn’t give any specifics on how they should do it, but told his audience, “Let’s get ahead of it!”

In this clip, Bannon eviscerates Musk for promising, but not delivering the promised trillion dollars in cuts to the American people.

“Here’s the problem with Elon—It’s very simple. He promised $1 trillion and cuts and waste, fraud and abuse,” Bannon said.

“In the joint, you know, the State Of The Union or the joint thing of Congress—Remember the mantra of going through all the Social Security people that were 200 years old?” Bannon asked. “Not one penny was ever found!” he exclaimed. “Okay, where is the fraud in Medicaid, which is ripe for fraud?” he asked. “He [Musk] never came up with anything! Bannon said. “Where is the fraud at the Pentagon, which is the Mack Daddy’s of waste, fraud and abuse? Not one penny!” Bannon exclaimed.

For all the Elon fanboys: Elon promised a trillion dollars in cuts but delivered rescissions with no teeth.

Fanboys, grab your pencils: The GOP shot down the real fight. No fraud money was found from Social Security. No waste cut. Just talk. pic.twitter.com/uriI7DdLTA

This isn’t the first time Bannon ever took a shot at Musk and his integrity or character, in a March 2023 interview with Tim Pool, Steve Bannon told him, “Elon Musk is a total and complete phony—He is owned lock, stock, and barrel by the Chinese Communist Party!”

What do you think? Is Steve Bannon correct about Elon Musk? Is it odd how Musk has been praising Trump for almost a year and suddenly, he wants him to be impeached?
