Steve Bannon Warns Trump That ‘Punk’ Musk Will Help Dems ‘Steal’ Midterms: ‘Get Ahead of It!’
Steve Bannon issued a blunt warning to President Donald Trump that if he doesn’t “get ahead” of the Elon Musk feud, the billionaire tech mogul will “help steal the ’28 election” by throwing his support behind Democrats.
The former White House strategist and MAGA firebrand claimed on his War Room podcast Thursday that it was only a matter of time before Musk began actively plotting with progressives to bring down Trump – both financially and politically.
“He turned on Trump. He turned on MAGA. But most importantly, he turned on the country and the American people,” Bannon said. “And President Trump had enough of it.”
The tirade followed a furious war of words after Musk began openly criticizing Trump’s legislative agenda. The attacks spiked in threats of canceling government contracts held by Musk’s businesses, including SpaceX, and calls by the billionaire for Trump to be impeached.
Bannon, long skeptical of Musk’s influence in the White House, returned fire by calling for SpaceX to be nationalized and for Musk to be deported. He further seized on the moment to brand the ex-DOGE head as a political turncoat ready, he claimed, to use his vast wealth to fund House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and join efforts to impeach Trump.
“As hard as we’ve worked in all the years that we’ve walked in this audience’s work, some punk is going to sit there and go, oh, he should be impeached. As sure as the turning of the Earth, if those progressives rub up on him and say, ‘Hey, they’re never going to buy the Teslas’ – they rub up on him, he’ll write a $500 million check for Hakeem Jeffries,” Bannon said.
“He’ll be across the thing, looking to impeach President Trump, looking to help steal the ’28 election, looking to imprison President Trump.”
“So here’s my point: Let’s get ahead of it and let’s get ahead of it tonight,” Bannon urged. “There’s lots to be done. This guy is all over the map.”
He continued: “But he’s emblematic of these oligarchs. All of them have the maturity of a 9-year-old, and they’re dangerous. They’re dangerous not just to the president of the United States. More importantly, they’re dangerous to this Republic and the citizens of this constitutional republic.”
