I agree that Bannon should have his Twitter account restored, but according to Wikipedia, Tesla has many more factories in the US than all other countries combined.

Tesla is hardly the only company that Musk owns that has value as well.

Musk is often deserving of criticism but these claims from Bannon fall completely flat. Must be something else that has his ire, like Musk's support of DeSantis.

I like Bannon. He’s a fighter like Trump. But, Musk is the only guy out there in the political arena today, other than Trump and DeSantis, that has done some real, positive and calcuable good for the Conservative Cause.

Buying Twitter and firing all the lefties and disclosing all Twitter’s secrets has been a bigger punch in the gut to The Left than Bannon has ever even come close to or ever will.

Musk is getting his operating money from someone with very deep pockets.

Yes, he is. Currently himself, through sales of stock.

Also, Tesla is doing very well -

Money is coming from the CCP. Bannon is correct.

“I like Bannon.”

Adding one letter: “I liked Bannon.”

Be interesting to know who controls Bannon...

When two alpha males approach each other, do not expect the outcome to be at all amicable or even reasonable. The drive for dominance is a categorical imperative. Ethics be damned.

Bannon hasn't trusted Musk for a while and that was before Musk mentioned DeSantis and before Musk bought Twitter.

It's all about the CCP. His theme song for the past few years should be a hint.

But only a small fraction of Musk's factories are in China. And he's working closely with the US government on projects like SpaceX. To claim he's CCP owned rings hollow. Sure, he's partnered with the Chinese, but so has Trump on occasion. He rented a whole floor of Trump Tower to the National Bank of China until just a couple of years ago, when critics finally forced him out of it.

“Bannon hasn’t trusted Musk for a while”

At the time Musk bought Twitter, Bannon has been adamant that Musk is CCP, or CCP friendly.

I do admire Musk for the positive things he’s done, but his involvement in AI scares me.

Bannon’s just making “Buzz” so people watch his show.

Bannon brought the fire with his speech at CPAC 2023. Say what you want about him - the man's got guts.

The source Yahoo which calls Tim Pool a “right wing podcaster”, that was almost enough to stop reading. Tim Pool while a good guy, is not a right winger.

Bannon is starting to sound a bit stale, all he does is talk.

What else can he do?
He has a talk show that’s what they do.
It’s his stock & trade, just like Rush.
