‘Overthrow the lawsuit against Bolsonaro, we overthrow the tariffs’
Bannon, however, completely rejects the possibility that Musk may have interceded for measures against Brazil with Trump. Until just over a month ago, Musk led the White House Government Efficiency Department, which left a public quarrel with the current president.
“Elon Musk was completely out of this loop (trading for tariffs and sanctions). I have never seen him make any mention of Brazil,” says Bannon, musk’s disaffection. Recently, the magician’s ideologist even suggested the deportation of Musk, who is an American citizen, but was born in South Africa. Musk replied by saying that Bannon should be arrested.
“Elon Musk said nothing about Brazil, signed a ‘Checão’ to enter the campaign but was already expelled from President Trump’s intimate circle. But no, he never touched the subject. He never, never, never, never, never tried to do anything for the Bolsonaros. He never thought of making money. And now he is trying to chase President Trump.” Bannon said.
During the government of Jair Bolsonaro, Musk even visited Brazil to implement Starlink projects, his satellite internet company in the Amazon.
“Anyone who thinks like this (that Musk was important to sanctions or tariffs against Brazil) does not really understand the policy of power here in the United States,” Bannon said. According to him, Musk had no identification with Bolsonaro.
“Remember that it was Maga and President Trump who supported the Bolsonaros, because Bolsonaro is Trump of the Tropics. The Bolsonaros are loved here because we see each other, ordinary people going to the streets and saying, ‘Hey, our voices tell,'” says Bannon.
