Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon has declared war on Elon Musk and vowed to “take down” the Tesla and SpaceX CEO.

Bannon has made it clear he is no fan of the tech billionaire who has been practically attached to President-elect Donald Trump and called him out as “truly evil” in a new interview.

“I will have Elon Musk run out of here by Inauguration Day,” the former Trump adviser told the Italian newspaper Corriere della Sera. Translated excerpts were published by Breitbart News where Bannon once served as executive chairman.

“He will not have a blue pass to the White House, he will not have full access to the White House, he will be like any other person,” Bannon told the outlet.

“He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down,” he added. “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it; I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.”

The continued debate over H-1B visas seemed to be a particular point of contention as Musk supports the work program that allows skilled immigrants to come to the U.S. to work.

“This thing of the H-1B visas, it’s about the entire immigration system is gamed by the tech overlords, they use it to their advantage, the people are furious,” Bannon said in the interview, pointing out that “76 percent of engineers working in Silicon Valley are non-Americans.”

“No blacks or Hispanics have any of these jobs or any access to these jobs,” Bannon stated.

“Peter Thiel, David Sachs, Elon Musk, are all white South Africans,” he continued. “He should go back to South Africa. Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, white South Africans, we have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?”

“We have been fighting this fight for ten years,” he told the outlet. “We are going to expose the entire corruption of the American system, of how money controls everything and hopefully we’ll inspire you in Italy to wake up,” he told Corriere della Sera journalist Viviana Mazza.

Bannon further scorned Musk, saying he “just had a huge defeat here in America,” regarding H-1B visas.

“He went out of his way to mock our movement as racist and retards, and he lost,” he said. “We blew him out of the water. He won’t fight. He’s got the maturity of a little boy.”

Bannon went on to argue that the billionaire, who has been named by Trump to co-lead the “Department of Government Efficiency,” has had “tremendous loss of credibility here in the United States, and quite frankly, the people around Trump are tired of it.”

He further lamented that Musk’s “sole objective is to become a trillionaire.”

“He will do anything to make sure that any one of his companies is protected or has a better deal or he makes more money. His aggregation of wealth, and then — through wealth — power: that’s what he’s focused on,” Bannon said.

And while the former Trump adviser acknowledged that Musk’s financial support during the presidential campaign was a positive thing, the continued influence is not.

“What’s not positive,” he said, “is when all of a sudden he tries to put his half-baked ideas which are really about the implementation of techno-feudalism on a global scale. I don’t support that and we’ll fight it.”
