MAGA Civil War: Steve Bannon’s Crusade Against Elon Musk

In a dramatic escalation of tensions within the MAGA movement, Steve Bannon, the far-right strategist and former Trump advisor, has declared all-out war on Elon Musk, branding the billionaire tech mogul as “truly evil” and vowing to oust him from Donald Trump’s inner circle. In a recent interview with Italy’s Corriere della Sera, Bannon unleashed a scathing critique of Musk, accusing him of pursuing “techno-feudalism on a global scale” and prioritizing personal wealth over the America First agenda. This feud, which centers on immigration policy and ideological purity, has exposed deep fractures within the MAGA coalition, pitting old-guard nationalists like Bannon against the tech-friendly faction led by Musk.

The Interview: Bannon’s Broadside Against Musk

In his interview with Corriere della Sera, Bannon made it clear that he views Musk as a threat to the MAGA movement. “Elon Musk’s sole objective is to become a trillionaire,” Bannon declared, adding that Musk’s ideas are “really about the implementation of techno-feudalism on a global scale” . Bannon vowed to ensure that Musk would not have full access to the White House, stating, “He will not have a blue pass with full access to the White House. He will be like anyone else” .

Bannon’s animosity stems from Musk’s vocal support for the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers. Musk, who himself came to the U.S. on an H-1B visa, has defended the program as critical to America’s technological innovation, particularly for companies like Tesla and SpaceX. In a fiery post on X (formerly Twitter), Musk wrote, “The reason I’m in America, along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla, and hundreds of other companies that made America strong, is because of H-1B” .

Bannon, however, sees the program as a betrayal of American workers. “This thing of the H-1B visas, it’s about the entire immigration system being gamed by the tech overlords,” he said. “They use it to their advantage. The people are furious” .

The Ideological Divide: MAGA’s Civil War

The feud between Bannon and Musk is emblematic of a broader ideological rift within the MAGA movement. On one side are the traditional populist-nationalists, led by figures like Bannon and Laura Loomer, who oppose nearly all forms of immigration and view Musk’s tech-friendly policies as a threat to American workers. On the other side are the “tech right,” represented by Musk and his allies, who argue that skilled immigration is essential for maintaining America’s competitive edge in technology and innovation .

This divide has sparked a bitter online battle, with Musk and Bannon trading barbs on social media. Musk has dismissed his critics as “racist” and “retarded,” while Bannon has mocked Musk’s “childish” behavior and accused him of lacking the maturity to engage in serious policy debates .

Trump’s Role: A Reluctant Mediator

Donald Trump, who has long relied on both Bannon and Musk for support, finds himself caught in the middle of this feud. While Trump has historically been critical of the H-1B program, he has recently sided with Musk, calling the visas a “great program” and acknowledging their importance to his own businesses . However, Trump’s stance has done little to quell the infighting, as Bannon and his allies continue to push for stricter immigration controls and reparations for American workers displaced by foreign labor .

Bannon’s Personal Vendetta

For Bannon, the fight against Musk has become deeply personal. “Fermarlo è diventata per me una questione personale” (“Stopping him has become a personal matter for me”), Bannon told Corriere della Sera. He accused Musk of being “a truly evil guy” and vowed to “take this guy down” . Bannon’s rhetoric has escalated to the point where he has even suggested that Musk should “go back to South Africa,” questioning why a “white South African” should have any influence over U.S. policy .

The Global Implications

Beyond the U.S., Bannon has criticized Musk’s involvement in European politics, accusing him of promoting “techno-feudalism” abroad. While Bannon has expressed support for Musk’s backing of right-wing causes in Europe, he remains deeply suspicious of Musk’s motives, suggesting that the billionaire’s ultimate goal is to amass unprecedented wealth and power .

The feud between Steve Bannon and Elon Musk underscores the ideological tensions that threaten to fracture the MAGA movement. As Trump prepares to assume office for a second term, he will face the difficult task of reconciling these competing factions. For now, the battle lines are drawn, and the outcome of this civil war could shape the future of American politics.

Whether Musk will retain his influence in Trump’s orbit or be sidelined by Bannon’s crusade remains to be seen. But one thing is clear: the MAGA movement is no longer a monolith, and its internal divisions could have far-reaching consequences for the Republican Party and the nation as a whole.
