Musk isn’t MAGA. Trump has only ever used MAGA for his own ends. Bannon feeling left out at the moment.
Anthony Scaramucci has a great saying about why Steve Bannon is proof that God exists. Bannon is intelligent , articulate, devious, politically astute and well read. But God made him so ugly with his recovering alcoholic look that he can never be elected and has to use people like Trump, who will always let him down in the end. |  |

Oh I agree, Musk isn't MAGA and has used his money to buy that 'cloak' to appear that to Trump's disciples.
It was more the "have you met yourself?" element of Bannon's criticism, as while he might be politically astute, he is a racist piece of sh;t. |  | | |

Give him a suit, a red tie and a nice orange spray tan and he'd have half a chance. |  | | |

From the article...
He [Musk] should go back to South Africa,” Bannon said. “Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, white South Africans, we [can't] have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?
*Added the [can't] as it doesn't scan without it.
White South Africans were notoriously racist 30 to 40 years ago but are they still? |  |

It's a bit of a generalisation to say that, but the tensions have certainly not just disappeared. My ex in-laws are white South African and there definitely seems to be an underlying bitterness that they've had their country stolen from them. They would also take great offence when it was pointed out to them that the whites still controlled most of the country's money, had a much higher standard of living on average, and still employed black servants to do all of their housework and gardening. |  | | |

My bad.
I fell into the trap of assuming that the views of the political leaders of a country are the same as their citizens. They're not - Netanyahu, Trump being prime examples.
I remember Thatcher was an apologist for the South African government and took a soft line towards them even though official British government policy was severe - sanctions etc. | |

'Their country' 😂
I instinctively have a distrust of all white South Africans wealthy enough to have emigrated here that i meet. Not right but it's what history has taught me. |  | | |

Leaving aside any questions of racism, I had a good friend at university who had fought for a year or so in the Rhodesian civil war immediately before he came to university: that's some gap year!
He was of British descent, and was very contemptuous of South Africans of Boer descent whom he portrayed as rather slow and dense.
I might add that my wife's dentist is South African (and very nice), but he doesn't have a high opinion of other South Africans in this country, something that mirrors my experience. Maybe, as well as bitterness, there's a certain arrogance which comes with being the dominant race and having servants and the like.
I might add that my uncle and aunt moved to South Africa 50 or 60 years ago, and I have three cousins there, but I don't really know them. [Post edited 13 Jan 17:19]
