Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon is softening his tone on Trump campaign financier turned adviser Elon Musk just days after he vowed to push the Tesla CEO out of the incoming president’s orbit over Musk’s support for a controversial visa program.
Bannon, who was campaign chair for the last few months of Trump’s 2016 presidential run and served as a top White House aide for Trump’s first seven months in office, has been engaged in a war of words against Musk in recent weeks stemming from the South African immigrant’s vow to support the H-1B visa program.
