Time for some Steve Bannon news.
He’s not a fan of the unelected overlord from South Africa.
Stephen K. Bannon, President Trump’s former White House chief strategist, has renewed his feud with Elon Musk, the richest man in the world and a top Trump adviser, calling him a “parasitic illegal immigrant” in an interview published online on Tuesday.
Mr. Bannon made the comments in an interview with UnHerd, a British news site, that took place last week.
“Musk is a parasitic illegal immigrant. He wants to impose his freak experiments and play-act as God without any respect for the country’s history, values or traditions,” Mr. Bannon told the interviewer.
Of course Trump too wants to play-act as god etc etc.
Despite his dramatic and fractious departure from the White House in 2017, Mr. Bannon became close with Mr. Trump again in the final year of Mr. Trump’s first term. Mr. Bannon is still a close ally and, more significantly, a popular figure within the Trump movement: His show, War Room, is watched closely by a number of Trump allies, as well as the president himself.
Musk and Bannon are like the two hit men in Fargo. Musk is the babbling jittery hyper guy played by Steve Buscemi, and Bannon is the huge sullen silent Swedish guy who axes him.
By all means follow the plot, guys.

But…isn’t Africa one of those shithole countries? So Musk should go back and fix his own country?
(Joke. I do realize Africa is a continent, and that there are many countries there.)
It’s not like Bannon has any respect for our history, values, or traditions, or rather of the last century and a quarter worth of them. If I had to bet on first out of the White House it’s Bannon, not Musk (as long as Musk doesn’t piss off Trump).
Since he’s getting so much of the attention, it seems likely he will. The best way to get rid of Musk is to continue the press coverage, leaving poor Donald behind.
My current theory is that Musk has figured out how to tactically manage Trump’s dementia but admittedly I haven’t been getting much sleep so I could be missing something.
