Musk, the world's richest man, sits around on Twitter and posts shit all the time. What's interesting about Elon Musk is when he's not being racist or anti semitic or homophobic, he goes after people in Trump's orbit. Remember the time he went after Trump and said, the Epstein files will never be released because Trump's in them. The person that he is fixated on right now is Trump's longtime advisor, Steve Bannon. And how he is able Elon Musk, I mean, how he is able to separate Steve Bannon's behavior and Trump's behavior and still be so pro Trump, I will never understand. But he is at war with Steve Bannon and he is elevating the posts about how evil and corrupt this man is. So over the weekend, it was just drunk as fuck on Steve Bannon hating. So here we have. Epstein was working with Steve Bannon on a global populist movement before his arrest. You can't make this up. The anti elite crusader taking advice from the most elite pedophile in the world. And Elon Musk says, no kidding. And so what we see from these files is Steve Bannon was texting with Jeffrey Epstein the day he was arrested. So it's interesting to me that he's chosen Steve Bannon but not Donald Trump.

It doesn't surprise me at all, because Steve Bannon is savvy, very, very politically savvy. And he knows in order to keep the MAGA base together, he wants to continue Trump's lie about economic populism and he wants to scapegoat billionaires. Steve Bannon has been very clear that the billionaires are the problem when he's on the War Room. And during Trump 2.0, Bannon was sidelined and Musk was right in the. And so this is where this fissure started between these two. Bannon's watching from the outside, so he starts this anti billionaire rhetoric. Now, Bannon doesn't mean it, but he knows it works super well with the V base. So Bannon wants to boogeyman and scapegoat Musk. Conversely, Musk needs to provide a boogeyman to the people around Trump. And it's to say, oh, look, Bannon is the boogeyman. Take your eye off of Trump. Here's the new shiny object. So this makes perfect sense. There is no loyalty among thieves. This is a classic textbook case of two people who have very transactional intentions with this movement. Both want to erode civil liberties, both want to dismantle democracy. One, Steve Bannon wants some whacked out Christian nationalist country, but he knows in order to get the base, in order to make it happen, he has to create a boogeyman. That boogeyman is the billionaires. Which is why you have to keep an eye on the messaging from Marjorie Taylor Greene, from Tucker Carlson, because they are very close with Bannon. Musk knows he has to create a boogeyman. And that boogeyman is, look at Steve Bannon. Don't look at Donald Trump, look at Steve Bannon. So these guys are enemies within the same group. And this brings me to my point all the time. Any notion that we all have that it's high fives and camaraderie in the Trump 2.0 White House. These are the most toxic, emotionally stunted people on the planet. I bet there is so much backstabbing and gossip and double playing and duplicitous behavior. None of these people are friends. Everybody's jockeying to curry favor. But Steve Bannon is looking more long term with his anti billionaire messaging. That's the impetus of all of this.
