Steve Bannon once claimed Elon Musk would take a check from Adolf Hitler after labeling the billionaire a “globalist” for his business ties to China.
The right has been at odds with Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy — who President-elect Donald Trump tasked with leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — after the men came out in support of immigration visas for high-skilled workers. According to critics, that support is in direct conflict with Trump’s promise to end the H-1B visa program that allows those workers to be legally employed in the U.S.
On Friday, Laura Loomer joined Bannon’s show where the two continued calling out Musk and Ramaswamy for their support of migrant workers.
As noted by MeidasTouch editor in chief Ron Filipkowski, Bannon has been critical of Musk for similar issues in the past. Back in 2023, he labeled Musk a “globalist” while sounding the alarm on his ties to American adversaries.
“Elon Musk, once again, brother,” Bannon said, “I’m smart enough to tell you, ‘No,’ to your face, and I’m evil enough to be able to expose you as a running dog for the greatest enemy this nation’s ever had. You’re a war profiteer. You’re sleeping with the enemy, brother, and you’ve been doing it because all you — you’re not an American nationalist. You’re not even an American. All you are is a globalist, OK, a globalist; and you will go where everybody — anybody writes you a check and you would take it from Adolf Hitler himself because you’re taking it from people that are as bad as Adolf Hitler — the murderous regime of the Chinese Communist Party, which you praised on their 100th anniversary.”
