Steve Bannon launched a scathing attack on Elon Musk, accusing the tech billionaire of losing faith in Nigel Farage and attempting to distract him from his H-1B visa stance.
Speaking about GBN America, former White House chief strategist, Musk branded “globalists” and criticised recent comments on British reform leaders.
“The one I didn’t like was Elon. I can escape losing here with H1-B visas and people saying, “I thought you were a nationalist, I think you’re a globalist now.” Because of that. Raise Nigel,” Bannon said.
The clash between Musk and Farage came after Tesla’s CEO expressed support for UK reforms and at the same time suggested that Farage should resign as leader.

Musk is particularly active in British politics, with the Labour government and Prime Minister Kiel launching attacks over a grooming gang scandal.
Sources told the mail on Sunday that Musk was coordinating with former Downing Street Advisor Dominic Cummings via WhatsApp, and the pair were discussing the UK’s political strategy.

A recent poll of opinion shows that 53% of British citizens believe masks are having a negative impact on British politics, while only 12% believe he is actively looking at his involvement.
Bannon has expressed his support for both Farage and Tommy Robinson in the arrival of GBN America.
“I’m a huge supporter of Tommy Robinson and I have a lot of sadness,” Bannon said in defense of the controversial activists.
He praised Robinson’s message, saying, “The fight he had at its core is what we had to face, especially with certain elements of radical Islam, and simply cannot be pushed down. It was about telling the truth about certain elements of Islamic society.”
Bannon has promised to meet Robinson when he is released from prison, admitting that “he has some rough edges.”
The former Trump strategist argued that Farage was “obviously a leader” and was “very upfront.”
Recent voting data reveals mixed sentiment between UK voter reforms regarding national discrepancies between Musk and Farage.
The vote by Friderichs Advisory and JL Partners showed Farage, which maintains strong support among UK voters with a +77 rating.
Musk also maintained its popularity with reform supporters, achieving a +13 rating.
But Tommy Robinson, whose support from Musk sparked tensions with Farage, received a negative rating of -5 from the UK voter reform.
The data appears to certify Farage’s position, compared to 21% who opposed, whereas 57% of voters in the UK support his decision to distance himself from Robinson.
