Bannon Unleashed: Explosive Feuds, Demands, and Tributes Ignite the Right

Steve Bannon BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Steve Bannon has dominated headlines the past few days with a flurry of public statements and appearances following the shocking death of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. At the State Farm Stadium memorial service for Kirk on September 21, Bannon was captured by local Arizona outlets standing in line among other major conservative figures, a rare public appearance that quickly became a symbolic moment for the movement according to AZCentral. But Bannon did not stop there. In the aftermath of the event, he went on the attack, venting on his War Room podcast and sparking fresh controversy by calling for a federal investigation into Utah Governor Spencer Cox, whom he blamed for conditions leading to Kirk's killing. Utah Political Watch reports Bannon did not hold back, directly accusing both Governor Cox and the LDS Church of “fostering an environment” conducive to political violence, language that escalates tensions between GOP factions in Utah and the national right.

Bannon’s incendiary style was again on display as he revived his long-running feud with Elon Musk following the latter’s visible reunion with Donald Trump at the Kirk memorial. The Independent details how, minutes after Trump and Musk shared cameras and handshakes in Glendale, Bannon used his media platform to demand Musk’s deportation to South Africa, blasting Musk’s use of the H-1B visa system and calling Musk’s residency “totally illegal.” He characterized tech visas as a form of “indentured servitude,” accusing Musk of undermining American workers. This provocation comes shortly after new executive orders on foreign hiring, a policy dispute at the heart of prior Bannon-Musk clashes.

Their feud has not gone unnoticed online, with both Bannon and Musk trading insults across social media and podcast appearances. Musk, who has previously called Bannon a “fat drunken slob,” responded to these latest jabs by reiterating his own grievances, while right-wing X accounts amplified Bannon’s calls for an inquiry into Musk’s immigration and business dealings. Meanwhile, Bannon’s demand for a special counsel targeting Musk has picked up some traction among MAGA loyalists, but remains unconfirmed as a policy action at this time.

No major reports of new business ventures or legal actions against Bannon have surfaced in the last several days, but his profile has spiked after weeks of relative quiet, fueled by Kirk’s death, his renewed attacks on tech billionaires, and his fiery rhetoric against political opponents, signaling that the former White House strategist is once again intent on shaping the national conversation as the election season heats up.
