Summary
Steve Bannon intensified his attacks on Elon Musk, calling him a “parasitic illegal immigrant” and accusing him of undermining American traditions.
The feud highlights a growing divide among Trump loyalists as Musk, a key donor and adviser in Trump’s second term, leads DOGE.
Bannon criticized Musk’s handling of budget cuts and his reluctance to target Pentagon spending.
Musk dismissed Bannon’s remarks, while Trump defended Musk’s role.
It’s typical tactic for monarch, keep multiple fractions in a controlled infighting and competing w each other, so the king can stay in power.
Nothing to cheer about honestly.
True, it’s what Putin does. Fortunately I don’t think Trump has the intelligence to realize this is what he wants to do.
To these political animals, Machiavellian tactics are more instinct than intelligence.
