Steve Bannon Escalates Feud With Elon Musk: 'Parasitic Illegal Immigrant'

Steve Bannon, a former top adviser to President Donald Trump, has escalated his attacks on Elon Musk, calling the billionaire a "parasitic illegal immigrant" and accusing him of using his influence to push an agenda that disregards American traditions.

The latest remarks underscore growing tensions between two key Trump loyalists. Bannon, the media executive who once served as Trump's chief strategist during his first White House term, has portrayed Musk as a dangerous force within the current administration.

Bannon, a key architect of Trump's first-term agenda, has increasingly positioned himself as a vocal critic of Musk's expanding role in the administration. He has accused Musk, the world's richest person, of being "a racist," "an agent of Chinese influence" and an existential threat to the MAGA movement.
