Steve Bannon has made several headlines as of late, especially in terms of politicians or political influences with whom he has a real problem.
For instance, Bannon notoriously called for the arrest of Senator Lindsey Graham for ostensibly “stirring things up” in Ukraine, which raised more than one eyebrow.
However, Bannon appears to have reserved his greatest ire for Elon Musk, the tech mogul turned “First Buddy” turned persona non grata at the White House, apparently.
In essence, an epic “breakup” between two of the world’s most famous billionaires unfolded.
And Musk is likely to be especially unwelcome following his launch of the “America Party” … which he threatened to do if the “big, beautiful bill” passed.
Shortly after the bill’s passage, Musk immediately began to work on crafting a third party, much to the ire of Bannon.
Bannon already called for Musk’s deportation all of a month ago, and he appears to be doubling down yet again on an especially punitive response to the mega-billionaire.
As reported by The Hill, longtime Trump associate Steve Bannon is especially angry over Musk’s development of a new political party.
“The foul, the buffoon. Elmo the Mook, formerly known as Elon Musk, Elmo the Mook. He’s today, in another smear, and this – only a foreigner could do this – think about it, he’s got up on, he’s got up on Twitter right now, a poll about starting an America Party, a non-American starting an America Party,” Bannon raged.
Technically, Musk is a naturalized citizen, though Bannon is likely referring to native born citizens.
“No, brother, you’re not an American. You’re a South African and if we take enough time and prove the facts of that, you should be deported because it’s a crime of what you did – among many,” Bannon continued.
On his part, Musk appeared merely amused by Bannon.
“The fat, drunken slob called Bannon will go back to prison and this time for a long time. He has a lifetime of crime to pay for,” Musk dismissively remarked on X.
The plot thickens.
And it has continued to thicken even further after Trump stepped in.
Australian Broadcasting Corporation noted that Trump found the idea of a third party “ridiculous.”
“We have a tremendous success with the Republican Party. The Democrats have lost their way, but it’s always been a two-party system, and I think starting a third party just adds to confusion. It really seems to have been developed for two parties. Third parties have never worked, so he can have fun with it, but I think it’s ridiculous,” Trump mused.
What would be especially ridiculous is if the “America Party” effectively hobbles Republicans at the forthcoming midterms.
Unless, of course, Democrats who have long become sick of AOC and her ilk opt to join in … assuming, of course, that the distaste for AOC is greater than the Dems’ newfound distaste for Musk.
