Steve Bannon, once a senior advisor to Donald Trump, has launched a sharp attack on Elon Musk, calling him “racist” and “truly evil.” Bannon has vowed to ensure Musk is no longer part of Trump’s inner circle before the president-elect’s inauguration next week.

This heated feud stems from Musk’s support of the H-1B visa program, which allows U.S. employers to hire skilled foreign workers for specialized roles. Bannon claims this program takes jobs away from Americans and accuses Musk of backing it for personal gain, as his companies hire many skilled immigrants.

In an interview, Bannon said, “I will get Elon Musk kicked out by the time Trump is inaugurated. He won’t have special access to the White House anymore.” Musk, who has been a close ally of Trump since his election victory, is set to lead the unofficial Department of Government Efficiency alongside Vivek Ramaswamy.

Bannon’s frustration also extends to Musk’s South African roots, labeling him and other South African-born tech billionaires as “racist” and out of touch with American issues. “Why do we have white South Africans commenting on everything in the U.S.?” Bannon asked.

Musk reportedly contributed over $270 million to Trump’s reelection campaign, which has given him significant influence within Trump’s circle. However, Bannon insists that Musk’s power must be curbed, saying it has now become a personal mission for him.

This conflict highlights a growing divide in Trump’s MAGA circle, particularly over immigration policies and the role of skilled foreign workers in America’s economy. The debate continues to create friction as the inauguration approaches.
