Steve Bannon taunted his fellow Trump ally Elon Musk on Tuesday, telling POLITICO that the president-elect’s billionaire right-hand-man doesn’t have all that much power.
Bannon, a former chief strategist for Trump and the host of the “War Room” podcast, told POLITICO White House bureau chief Dasha Burns that Musk has had some influence over Cabinet picks and policy discussions but that he doesn’t “have the ability to actually make decisions and inform those decisions and drive those decisions.”
As Trump’s big-tent GOP returns to power, Bannon and Musk have served as a prime example of the infighting already underway. It previews the upcoming clashes set to take place in the Republican Party, and offers an early reminder of the incoming president’s governing style.
