Steve Bannon will "do anything" anything to keep Elon Musk out of the incoming administration, the former Trump White House adviser said in a new interview. Why it matters: The conservative media firebrand's comments to Corriere della Sera about the tech billionaire marks an escalation in a MAGA-world civil war over immigration as Trump prepares to begin his second term.

Steve Bannon is ramping up his attack on Elon Musk. And this time he’s threatening violence. The house of MAGA has been in flames this week over Musk’s plan to protect immigrants with H-1B visas, while diehard conservatives like the president-elect’s former strategist Bannon and Trump loyalist Laura Loomer have said foreign workers should be deported and replaced with “real” Americans.
