Steve Bannon has changed his tune on Elon Musk. He’s now complimentary.
Bannon is Trump’s id.
Along with Russ Vought, Musk “is taking the most extreme action possible.”
https://www.nytimes.com/2025/02/28/us/politics/musk-federal-bureaucracy-takeover.html
The team is now moving faster than many of the legal efforts to stop it, making drastic changes that could be hard to unwind even if they are ultimately constrained by the courts. Mr. Musk’s associates have pushed out workers, ignored civil service protections, torn up contracts and effectively shuttered an entire agency established by Congress: the U.S. Agency for International Development.
A month into Mr. Trump’s second term, Mr. Musk and his crew of more than 40 now have about all the passwords they could ever need.
