Steve Bannon Vows to Chase Musk Out of Trump Administration
Things are about to get very interesting in the Trump universe.
Trump ally, Steve Bannon, is now vowing to have Musk removed from the Trump administration.
Musk Goes All-in on Trump
Leading up to the 2024 election, Elon Musk started to move closer and closer to endorsing Trump, and when Musk finally did endorse Trump, liberals and the mainstream media had a meltdown.
The richest man in the world was siding with Donald Trump, something Democrats completely feared, knowing the influence that Musk could wield.
Musk, at the time, stated, "I fully endorse President Trump and hope for his rapid recovery," after the failed assassination attempt on Trump.
As time progressed, Musk was brought into Trump’s inner circle, eventually being tagged as a possible administration official.
Musk and Doge
Musk has often railed against overreaching government and waste, so Donald Trump appointed Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy to head the new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
Trump, at the time, stated, "Together, these two wonderful Americans will pave the way for my Administration to dismantle Government Bureaucracy, slash excess regulations, cut wasteful expenditures, and restructure Federal Agencies - Essential to the 'Save America' Movement.
"I look forward to Elon and Vivek making changes to the Federal Bureaucracy with an eye on efficiency and, at the same time, making life better for all Americans."
Both Musk and Ramaswamy became cult-like heroes during the Trump campaign, so the announcement was applauded by Trump supporters, well, most of them, anyway.
Evil Man
I am weary of Musk because I know he has an ulterior motive here, but I have not yet figured out the angle. Ramaswamy, I have never liked, and I will never support because he is a complete and utter fraud. He earned his money in pump-and-dump schemes, and I don’t trust him as far as I can throw him, and with my back, that is not very far.
Bannon, who has Trump’s ear, is now outright bashing Musk publicly, stating, “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day. 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 continued, “He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down. Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it. I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.”
I have already predicted that there would eventually be a fall-out between Musk and Trump because Trump will not share the spotlight, and with the media tagging Musk as “the real president,” it is only a matter of time before Trump snaps. With this added pressure from Bannon, there is an outright war coming, and it is going to be ugly if and when Musk and Trump split.
