Bannon on Trump, Musk implosion: 'We're going to go to f‑‑‑ing war'

Bannon on Trump, Musk implosion: ‘We’re going to go to f‑‑‑ing war’ (The Hill)

Former White House chief strategist and MAGA stalwart Steve Bannon leaned into his tirade against Elon Musk after the world’s richest person got into a public feud with President Trump, warning the tech billionaire that “we’re going to go to f‑‑‑ing war.”

“The president treated him almost like a son. He invited his family to Christmas dinner. He let him sleep over. He let him walk in and out of meetings,” Bannon, an ardent skeptic of Musk, said in an interview with Politico that was published late Thursday. “The president went to the max informality to welcome this guy.”

“You’re going to tell me we should allow some f‑‑‑ing punk to sit there and say he should be impeached and [VP] JD [Vance] should step in? F‑‑‑ you, dude,” the “War Room” podcast host continued. “We’re going to go to f‑‑‑ing war, and I’m going to rip your f‑‑‑ing face off.”

Musk’s Trump War Now Targets ‘Criminal’ Bannon (The Daily Beast)

The latest attack is an escalation in the war of words between the former Trump strategist and the former First Buddy.

Elon Musk has stepped up his attacks on MAGA warrior Steve Bannon by taking aim at the jail time the former Trump strategist served over the investigation into the January 6 Capitol attack.

After firing off a flurry of schoolboy slurs, in which he described Bannon as “peak r-tard”, “authoritarian”, and a “communist r-tard,” Musk lashed out again on his social media platform, declaring: “Steve Bannon is a criminal.”

The comment came in response to a post by another X user featuring a video from Bannon’s ‘War Room’ podcast.

During the podcast, Bannon slammed Musk’s government cost-cutting efforts, claimed the Tesla billionaire “doesn’t know anything about the real world”, and suggested Trump should seize his company, SpaceX.

Somehow I don't think that includes you, your five shirts and a fatty liver trying to jump ship.
