Peloni: It will be interesting to see what becomes of this war between Bannon and Musk. In truth, and fairness, Musk has taken to insinuating himself in to policy debates around the world, while ignoring similar debates in his own backyard in the US. In particular, why has Musk taken such an interest in the raging debate over child rape gangs in Britain, while failing to launch a similar campaign for investigations into the half million missing children in the US, just for instance. He promotes himself as MAGA supporter, even as he has recently been shown to have passed user data from MAGA supporters to the DOJ. He promotes himself as a MAGA advocate despite his continued adamant support of the H1b program which steals jobs from America in preference of foreign workers. His obsessive protestations on behalf of brain chipping the world population should still ring loudly in all of our ears, and we should also recall him being a regular attendee among the Davos crowd. And let us not forget that while he claims to have bought Twitter to fight on behalf of first amendment rights, he arranged an algorithm to downthrottle criticisms of his opponents during the H1b debate – note that he refused to deal with the antisemitic campaign waged across X until it became useful to change his stance as an absolute 1st Amendment advocate when he received significant criticisms over his positions on the H1b topic. To be honest, Trump’s reverence for Musk is in no small part related to Musk’s popularity among Trump’s MAGA base, but the truth is that Musk has always held globalist aspirations which detract from the nationalist qualities upon which MAGA is based, and he is trying to use his influence as the world’s largest publisher to intimidate nationalist policy makers on a global basis to not ignore his input, when in fact, his input is not entirely aligned with nationalist movements – such as on the topic of H1b, his emphasis on renewable energy, reducing Carbon footprints – and let us not forget Musk’s captured status with regards to corporate holdings in China.
By the way, whatever became of the Twitterfile releases…why did they stop being released?
Eh, this could get messy.
Apparently, Steve Bannon was talking to media in Italy and said some rather confrontational things about Elon Musk.
(CP) “I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” Bannon told the Italian daily Corriere della Sera this week. “He will not have a blue pass to the White House, he will not have full access to the White House, he will be like any other person.”
“He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down,” Bannon added. “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it; I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.”
[…] “This thing of the H-1B visas, it’s about the entire immigration system is gamed by the tech overlords, they use it to their advantage, the people are furious,” Bannon said, noting that “76 percent of engineers working in Silicon Valley are non-Americans.”
[…] “Peter Thiel, David Sachs, Elon Musk, are all white South Africans,” Bannon said. “He should go back to South Africa. Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, white South Africans, we have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?” (source)
This is like watching two Rams butt heads.
At the end of the day, thankfully Donald Trump is not Nikki Haley. Optimal solutions.
I was skeptical when Trump named Musk and Ramaswamy for the cost-cutting dept., but seeing how Musk cleaned house at Twitter/X, made me think that maybe he has some good ideas. Similarly, he runs a lean ship over at SpaceX, compared to the bloated government giant NASA. I can’t speak to the situation at Tesla, but I would be surprised if there was much wastage there. I will admit that Musk seems to be all over the place, and you never know what he’s going to say, where, or to whom. So far, he’s done a pretty good job of keeping the Left off balance and deflecting some of the heat from Trump. He does strike me, however, as being something of a loose cannon, but he’s our loose cannon, and so far, he has added a lot of interest and excitement to the political landscape. I just hope that Trump can control him, and when their inevitable falling out happens, I hope that it won’t be too ugly.
As for Steve Bannon, what’s his problem?
Does Bannon have much influence with Trump anymore? Does he really think he has more influence than Musk?
I agree with Steve Bannon on many things however his comments regarding South Africa with respect to “Racism”, isn’t very accurate at all.
Only after really studying South African History one will come to understand the realities of the South African founders.
These people, similar to Israel in many respects, were a Christian Protestant population, like that of the founders of America, wanted to be free of all the religious and political intolerance of Europe to live Freely as Christians with their Judeo-Christian culture.
Their valuing of their culture, historical identity as Dutch was always in jeopardy because they were always surrounded by un, non and anti-Christian multitudes; some friendly and some extremely warlike.
People seem to not understand that the base meaning of “Apartheid” means “Separate” or “Apart” in Afrikaans. They just wanted to be separate from the influences of the pagan savage world around them and the, often, totalitarian, criminal and oppressive nature of Old World Europe.
Similar to Israel, a tiny “Jewish” State, smack dab in the middle of millions of jihadi anti-Jew Muslims. If Israel, like any country or people, wishes to keep their country, culture, identity, history, heritage especially within the onslaught of Communist totalitarian anti-Judeo-Christian political agenda driving, one automatically is equated with “Apartheid”. Japan can be Japanese but England cannot be English. Nigeria can be Nigerian by America cannot be American – in the historical sense. Saudi Arabia along with over 20, once non, Arabian/Islamic countries can be Arabian and Islamic but Holland can’t be Dutch.
There is no “Diversity and Inclusion” or “Multiculturalism” in any Non-Western nation. Why? Because it is about Communism/Socialism and its agenda to destroy Western Civilization period.
People must never forget that it was the Communist movement backed by the same Globalists that we have today: WEF, CFR, UN etc. that brought down the extremely pro-American, pro-Israel Apartheid South Africa only to be replaced by the ANC: A Communist party headed by a Communist, who wrote “How to be a good Communist” named Nelson Mandela….
South Africa, for example, never had slavery in the sense of the West and its slave trade….
Touchy subject but one also that has been totally obliterated by the Communist/Socialist movement….similarly to their invention of a “Palestinian” people and a “West Bank”…. “A lie told often enough becomes truth…” – Lenin.
To end off. I’d love to be Elon Musk just for one, maybe two, days… 😉
Both men are far from perfect, each with their own agenda.
Even if all of the negatives are true about Musk, one cannot dismiss all of the good that he has done to help ‘free’ the US. Meanwhile Bannon has always been a loose cannon (excuse the rhyme). Apparently he hasn’t learned a thing. Being right is not everything. It’s how you sell your truth that counts much more. Claiming that he’ll get rid of Elon by inauguration day will only push Trump closer to Elon. Trump is no fool and both these guys should know that by now. If you try to pull the wool over him, he’ll simply cancel/fire you.
“The President’s Analyst” (1967) predicted brain chipping in 1967! One of the most important science fiction films you never heard of and a brilliant satire.
“A psychiatrist suddenly gets assigned to be the US president’s shrink. Paranoid from the many spies tailing him in hope of kidnapping him, he runs away, and dozens of spies, and the FBI, CIA, and various agencies scramble to retrieve him.” – Imdb.
“The President’s Analyst is a 1967 American satirical black comedy film written and directed by Ted Flicker and starring James Coburn. The film has elements of political satire and science fiction, including themes concerning modern ethics and privacy, specifically the intrusion of the telecommunications alliance, working with the U.S. government, into citizens’ private lives. The film was released theatrically on December 21, 1967, and was initially not a commercial success. However, it was reviewed favorably and eventually achieved cult status.[4]” – Wikipedia
It’s also a great satire of U.S. society in the ’60s.
Several streaming sites have it including Prime Video, Google Play Movies, Youtube and Fandango at home. $3.99 to rent.
Warning spoiler alert. This scene is close to the end.

Peloni (and certain others here), I don’t think I need to remind you (and Mr. Bannon, if he’s reading this) that an attack on Mr. Musk’s qualifications is an attack on President Trump, who appointed him).
Doubt Bannon will succeed even though everything Mr. Peloni wrote about Musk is absolutely true. He is NOT MAGA! But he has mega bucks, and gave Trump unbelievable amounts of cash for the campaign. Trump won’t fire him, he’ll ignore him or go along with him. It is not good. He never should have aligned himself with people who only support him for their own benefit. Failure to properly vet appointees seems to be a major problem with Trump and his transition team. Too many of the latter are the same as Musk or worse. Howard Lutnick is even a member of the World Economic Forum.
It’s not Bannon’s decision!
Bannon is delusional if he thinks he has more power than Musk.
Bannon is a psycho.
Musk is a globalist plant. He’s never invented anything and basically captured PayPal, Space X, Tesla, etc. he’s most likely a CIA frontman.
