Steve Bannon hopes to get Elon Musk to see the populist light after President-elect Donald Trump returns to the White House and starts implementing his policy vision.
Until then, Mr. Bannon is prepared to go to war with Mr. Musk and other tech giants who jumped on the Trump bandwagon in the 2024 election and are seen by some as a threat to the philosophical roots of the MAGA movement.
“What is shocking to me is that he doesn’t have much power because he doesn’t have the ability to actually make decisions, inform those decisions and drive those decisions,” the popular “War Room” host said Tuesday of Mr. Musk at a Politico forum.
Mr. Bannon, a chief strategist in Mr. Trump’s 2016 campaign who served early in the first term, acknowledged that Mr. Musk has the two biggest nuclear weapons in modern-day politics: unlimited cash and the X social media platform, where he can promote and censor political debates.
