Bannon Criticizes Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos Ahead of Trump's Inauguration

Steve Bannon has launched a scathing critique of tech moguls Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos, claiming their attendance at Donald Trump's inauguration signifies their surrender to the former president's influence. Bannon labels the billionaires as 'supplicants' and suggests that they do not genuinely support the MAGA movement, stating that Trump has 'broken' them. He further argues that these tech leaders operate within a framework he describes as 'techno-feudalism' and expresses distrust toward Musk, calling him 'truly evil' for his stance on H-1B visas. Bannon has been vocal about his intention to steer Musk towards a more populist nationalist ideology. This marks a significant shift in the relationship between Trump and the tech titans, who once stood at odds with him, particularly during his presidency. As Trump prepares for his second term, Bannon's remarks reflect ongoing tensions within the Republican Party regarding loyalty and ideology.
