Summary

Laura Loomer criticized Elon Musk’s influence on Trump during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room, accusing Musk and other tech leaders of being “welfare queens” reliant on government subsidies while seeking control over national defense.

Loomer also alleged Musk held secret meetings with Iranian and Chinese officials, raising national security concerns.

Her remarks align with growing criticism from MAGA loyalists, including Bannon, who warn of Musk’s outsized role during Trump’s transition.

      Honestly, I’m surprised this didn’t happen four or even eight years ago. They’re all grifters and you can pay them to push any message. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was being fed money from some ultra leftist group just to cause chaos.

        None of them need to be paid off to do this. Trump is starting to back away from some promises because it threatened the money interests, and the true believers like Loomer are losing it cause they were so close to getting everything they wanted out of this administration. They still aren’t blaming Trump directly, but it won’t take long if he keeps siding with Elon.
