Steve Bannon Accuses Elon Musk of Putting His ‘Own Interest’ Ahead of the Nation — Jabs Howard Lutnick

EXCERPT:

BANNON: “President Trump’s a very sophisticated businessman, but Scott is a safe pair of hands that understands capital markets deeply. He’s done this for 30 years. He has a very strong sense of what markets need to hear as far as information goes. Okay? Remember, the first fight, besides the H-1B visas and transhumanism, the first big fight we’ve had with Elon was over Elon pushed Howard Lutnick, and Bannon and WarRoom pushed Scott Bessent. And that got very nasty in Mar-a-Lago. They leaked all kind of stuff about Scott that was not true. And at the time, I said, for what President Trump’s trying to do on trade, on tariffs, on taxes, on national security, you’re going to need a steady eddy, a rock, that the markets can sit there and go, 'That guy’s telling me the truth. I may not like it, but he’s telling the truth.' That’s Scott Bessent. And I’ll be blunt, if Howard Lutnick had been secretary of the Treasury, it would have been an unmitigated disaster. Unmitigated disaster. And this is about people putting their own interest first, like Elon, versus putting the nation’s interest first."
