I'm not a fan of either, but kind of curious who will come out of this as the "winner".

Last week I’d have said Musty 100% because of his money. But it seems DumbOld is getting wound up “sharing the spotlight” with him, so vanity may favour Homeless Grandpa.
Hypothesist
fractalsphere
TOO LATE, traitor!
innagaddavidababy
I recommend that he straps a bomb to himself and then hugs Elon.

Bannon apparently hasn’t fully learned how easily disposable former Trump “allies” are. Are you doing something for him right now? No? Then you’re irrelevant.
But hey - Trump’s also easily manipulated, and Bannon’s a pretty good manipulator. So fight on, you crazy dipshits.
PaperinoVB
I hope both lose. I don't believe it, but one can always hope, right?
Zahnradfee
I say we let them fight it out in a ring and sell tickets for it.

"But I used to be masters favorite dog!".

Do it.

Ugh, fuck breitbart with a rusty railroad spike.
TanithRosenbaum
"Sure, he gave us money, but now he wants some say in return? Outrageous". What a tool. What did he think would happen? Musk funding them out of the goodness of his heart? Seriously are these people really that stupid or are they just pretending to be when it suits them?
HaniiPuppy
Steve Bannon looks like James May's evil step-brother.

mrthewhitee
Please do. But you are gonna have to go to extremes and you've got 2 weeks to do it in, so good luck
G081
Just an Ex being mad, nothing to see here
vDorothyv
Let them fight
nobodyspecial995
Except actually do anything
Pulger
Don't worry, pus-bag, Musk will also be kicked to the kerb when he's no longer useful/too embarrassing.
DemSumBigAssRidges
Anything anything? Or just... bitch about it anything? Cause... you're a big 2A'er, ain't ya?
rustyroo1
I thought he was in jail, was he released?
Zahnradfee
If he ever served, it was only 4 months.
Leithreas
Four months for one, a pardon for the other.
UnattendedDeviant
He thinks Trump he still needs him or his impact on the voter base.
cheezyone
There is no choice as it’s not Banon. Yesterday’s crew- retired
Bystandr
Yeeeeaaaahhh, Im not really sure hes going to do much.
drduffer
Cheeto will play them off of each other as long as he can and as long as he gets whatever he can out of the exchange. It’s how he perceives the use of power. It doesn’t matter that there’s no concrete benefit to the conflict. It only matters that it makes Cheeto look powerful.
PrinceOfWhales
Musk vs. Pus: Rumble in the sewer.
LyvPhreeOarDye
This could be interesting but my money is on the multi-billionaire.
Randomice
Easy prediction. Musk has more money.
kickedoutofthehole
Musky own him. It’s his property now
saucenes5
I hate that I am hoping Bannon succeeds in anything, but if he's gonna whip up some psycho Q-anon fucks and point them at Elon I'm here for it.
Animorphs
Then Musk would be Waluigied.
hotaru251
only possible benefit is most of the people in congress hate musk even on the R side.
donttalktomeihaventhadmycoffee
Until he gives them money
crapybarra
He's about to find out Trump has no morals or values beyond money and self interest.
GerbilHereReportingLiveFromRichardGeresAss
I think he did already but he keeps coming back. Anyone cared to check if there's a brain controlling that husk? Or is it just like... a lot of ants or something?

spacecowboyein
I don't think Bannon thought of Trump as anything other than a useful tool. He must know that Trump would also toss him away as soon as it was expedient, so I wonder what he has up his sleeve to win this 'war'.
peedrinkingcrapface
if the history of Demagogues vs Their Disgruntled Former Lackeys is any indicator, then Steve Bannon has exactly nothing up his sleeve, or anywhere else, with which he can win.
ApothecaryGrant
What do you mean? He already knows this. That's why he worked for him in his first administration and used it as an opportunity to embezzle millions of dollars.
peedrinkingcrapface
or principals, or theories, or ideologies... just the tactical exigencies of the current political moment.
WhattaMattahYou
Pretty sure he has thoroughly calculated the odds. Dude is a scumbag, but he's the smartest and most calculating in that room.
ZookyPooky
... which means no morals at all?
ChelVanin
I thought that’s what he liked about him
nation543
See, that's the thing -- as long as it was about fucking over AMERICANS, and ENSLAVING *AMERICANS*, it was cool. Musk wants to enslave India-Indians in the US, and that's not the American way. We enslave AMERICANS, damnit!
loma45
It was, while it benefited him.
GrumpyOldMan55
The money will win. It always does.
RacecarIsRacecarBackwards
It didn't in the election.
Greymalum
Yes, with an if. Because Trump owes Putin, Putin comes first.
jimicus
Musk knows something. I don’t know what, but he knows something about how he helped Trump win - and it’s not as simple as “manipulated Xitter”. That’s why Trump is keeping him around still.
Greymalum
It could be just for the money and social media support. Musk is worthless outside government subsidies.
Harryteeters
Steve's gonorrherpasyphillitis will take him out before the money has a chance
ZookyPooky
The answer is always money/power, and the decision around things goes to those with more of it.
AnythingMuchShorter
I was thinking the same. We know that the will of the billionaires is what always comes through. That's why trump won against all sanity and reason.
wadatahmydamie
Steve will get everything he’s ever wanted from a government even if Musk has him killed
DisgruntledFerret
I mean it doesn't, because Trump doesn't actually have any of the money he claims he does. He's living on lies, and lies are beating money.
ApothecaryGrant
They're all thieves fighting over who gets to steal the lion's share. The notion that the guy who embezzled millions of dollars has any moral high ground to throw stones from is hilarious.
Zamm005
Indeed but which money. The new or the old... Yes the new is very wealthy, but the old is plenty wealthy enough, and has the experience at successfully manipulating populations for centuries...
I kinda hope the new wins from an acceleration isn't perspective. Nothing wakes a population up to the need to participate in democracy daily than a few years of fascism!
Idontneedrealfacts
Lets ask Marie Antoinette about that
Zamm005
What happened in France after a few years of beheddings tho?... That's right, the money won and they stuck a king back on the throne.
Idontneedrealfacts
But boy did it help morale for a few years, I say we give it a go.
Zamm005
Oh yes I definitely wasn't trying to argue against giving it a go! Democracy is literally just the giving it of go's! If nothing else it'll teach the next lot of rulers to be a bit nicer to us for another couple of generations.... And that might be all it can ever do
Idontneedrealfacts
These days when the French protest the government still listens as they have institutionalized fear of the people :)
