Donald Trump’s former White House chief strategist branded the tech tycoon as a ‘truly evil person’ and said stopping him before Janaury 20 has become ‘a personal issue’. Donald Trump’s former senior advisor Steve Bannon has taken another swipe at Elon Musk, claiming he will personally see that the billionaire is “kicked out” of the president-elect’s inner-circle prior to his inauguration next week.

Trump’s first term White House chief strategist, who was fired after seven months in August 2017, branded Musk as a “truly” evil person and declared decreasing his influence on the incoming commander-in chief has become “personal”. “He’s a truly evil person. Stopping him has become a personal issue for me. Before, since he’s put in so much money, I was prepared to tolerate it. Not anymore.”.
Musk, who earned the moniker “First Buddy” for being a near-constant presence around Trump after the president-elect’s win at the ballot box in November, is set to lead the non-official, newly-created Department of Government Efficiency with one-time vice-president hopeful, Vivek Ramaswamy.
He reportedly spent more than $270 million of his own money to help reelect Trump throughout the election cycle, a majority of of which via his Super-PAC, America. The fiercely anti-immigrant sect of Trumpworld has been sent into a headspin after Silicon Valley tech figures, led by Musk and Ramaswamy, have come out in support of the visas, which are for highly-skilled immigrants typically working in tech, healthcare, engineering and finance.
