Steve Bannon Lights Up Elon Musk: ‘Total and Complete Phony’ Who ‘Is Owned Lock, Stock, and Barrel by the Chinese Communist Party’
Mediaite ^

Posted on 03/10/2023 9:19:35 PM PST by GulliverSwift

Steve Bannon shredded Elon Musk on Friday night, calling the Tesla CEO a “complete phony” who is beholden to the communist regime in China.

Appearing on Tim Pool’s podcast, Bannon was asked about Musk tweeting that he’s “open to the idea” of acquiring Silicon Valley Bank, which went under this week in spectacular fashion. It is the second-largest bank failure in U.S. history.

Bannon threw buckets of cold water on any such acquisition:

He’s owned by the Chinese Communist Party. What are you talking about? Tesla, the only thing of real value is Tesla. He uses it for margin loans. He sells the stock. The Shanghai joint venture is a hundred percent controlled by the CCP. This is why he never goes after the CCP. This is why he always backs off. This is when they had the protest, they had the protest about the lockdowns of Covid. He will not do it.

Elon Musk is a total and complete phony. He is in bed and his business partner–he’s done some good stuff… It’s fine. But, he is owned lock, stock, and barrel by the Chinese Communist Party, and he acts like it.

A clip of Bannon’s remarks was retweeted by Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL), who was also a guest on Friday’s show.

I agree. This is uncalled for, Musk is this century’s great innovator. His politics are geared to protecting his businesses and promoting his products and services. If you want to b-I-itch about this Steve, go after Tim Cook and Bill Gates.

Bannon is owned by the CIA/FBI. So, of course, he takes potshots at the man who released the Twitter files.

Musk is a cutout for Deep State military/intel technologies

Get real. Musk actually made employees working for the Deep State leave Twitter, when he found they were there.

He even banned Deep State Jan. 6. congressmen and women, including fatso Cheney, within a day or so of Tucker's videos.

What did Bannon ever do against the Deep State, aside from useless ranting?

The Musk envy and jealousy among those who are inferior and his unequals runs deep.

Basically Elon Musk is a real person that exudes cool

Check where Musk is getting his capital. Remember you are beholding who is giving you money.

MR Bannon - the enemy is the left who are doing everything they can to,destroy this nation and our moral foundations-

The enemy iS not someone who is exposing the vile corruption of the left on a daily basis practically.

Please get your priorities straight sir- our side has enough trouble fighting the constant barrage from The far left, and we don’t need someone from our side attacking the middle of the road warriors who are exposing the corruption of the left.

Thanks, yours truly, America

Point out what you mean with reference to Musk’s SEC filings or business reporting. The worst that I can find is that, with a plant in Shanghai, China accounts for 26 per cent of Tesla’s revenue. That does not make him a CCP tool.

Musk is allowing Americans free speech to go after Fauci and Chicoms over the Wuhan lab. Hunter Biden and Joe Biden have bought off by the Chicoms and Elon Musk is allowing us to go after them. Musk fights the Trans movement promoted by the Chicoms on TikTok. TESLA an international corporation that has a plant in China but that doesn’t negate the good he has fought for here and now on critical free speech issues

I’ve never been a big fan of Steve Bannon. I don’t view Elon Musk as a true conservative but he’s not controlled by the CCP. He just dances to his own tune. What he did with Twitter was good enough if he never does anything else again to help get rid of the cabal.

Yep

Fact is Musk has done more for the J6 gulag prisoners that any other person with a real platform than any other public figure

I like Bannon for his often inciteful (and inciting) comments, but every now and then a touch of Alex Jones syndrome infects him.

No proof but I feel like you are correct.

I think he is a very cagey P.T. Barnum reincarnated and that his methods take a chapter from the book of Ponzi.

Not concerned about Musk he not in government that can make more dangerous deals with the CCP note all the hacks that have kissed China’s ass over the years and look at the bind the country is in now.
Most all of our medicine comes from there and a lot more by pushing up taxes to drive labor off shore.

Yes Lucy democrats do stand out the most.

I get that he sells a boatload of cars in China, but he’s the best messenger our side has right now...

You understate Musk's connections to China. China owns "Global Basic Income" Musk.

That's not to single out you Bob, because most of the responses on this thread are embarrassing.

Looks like the same crowd that thinks there isn't a big problem at Fox right now.
