Steve Bannon, former assistant of US President Donald Trump, launched a scathing attack against Elon Musk, calling him an “illegal parasitic immigrant” in a recent interview. The comments have revived the debates about the history of Musk’s immigration, their role in the Trump administration, and its growing influence on American politics.
In statements to the British news store Unherd, Bannon accused Musk of pressing radical ideas, stating: “Musk wants to impose his strange experiments and play as God without any respect for the history, values or traditions of the country.”
Bannon, a key figure in Trump’s political movement, has positioned himself as Musk’s most vocal critic, claiming that Tesla and Spacex CEO is more dangerous than left -wing political figures. The musk born in South Africa has become an aggressive critic of undocumented immigrants.
Bannon also claimed that Musk exceeded his visa while building his commercial empire in the United States, an accusation he has denied.
Despite the past tensions with Trump, Musk has become an influential figure in the administration, playing a key role in the implementation of executive orders and budget cuts. His growing political influence has made him a goal for Trump’s Democrats and critics, changing part of the former president’s attention.
Bannon acknowledged the effectiveness of Musk, but criticized his priorities, saying: “The president is using it as an armor shell against the administrative state, but Musk’s work is more performative than substantive.”
Musk has largely ignored the repeated attacks of Bannon, but recently responded in X (previously Twitter) with a derogatory publication: “Bannon is a great conversationalist, but he is not a great maker. What did this week do?
