Laura Loomer turns on Trump for giving up power to Elon Musk: 'It's hard to deny'

MAGA activists Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer blasted Elon Musk and President Donald Trump for distracting from the budget deficit and national debt by focusing on internet memes instead.

As the House Budget Committee was marking up a budget likely to have few cuts in the next year, Bannon suggested Republicans were more interested in slashing taxes for the rich.

"So somebody's got to explain to me where these real cuts are," Bannon said on his Thursday War Room broadcast. "The tax cut for the Social Security has to be in there, has to be in there for the middle class and working class. And to hell with the big donors, to hell with the top 1%. That three, the four trillion dollar tax cut, that trillion dollars at the top."

"I think it's really great that Elon Musk is using his celebrity and his position," Loomer opined. "It's hard to really deny that he's not a co-president when he's giving these press conferences in the White House with his son next to President Trump in a very domineering fashion."

"But I will say that we need to see more action, as you just said, from these lawmakers to make more substantial cuts instead of just, you know, pushing out these soundbites on Fox News," she continued. "It's becoming very meme-like in my, in my opinion."

Loomer argued that Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) used Musk and Trump as a "human shield."

"He likes to bro it up with Elon Musk, and he likes to bro it up with Donald Trump," she said. "Elon Musk himself and DOGE as an entity has become such a lightning rod. Given the fact that it's Elon and several unvetted, many would say, teenagers who are now occupying space in White House facilities with clearances to review highly sensitive information, the focus has really been on Elon Musk and kind of the hysteria around DOGE itself."

"And so you see the media focusing on things like, oh, Elon Musk Just changed his name to Harry Bōlz. Oh, one of the guys on DOGE goes by the name Big Balls. Oh, he made racist comments about Indians, and so people are getting very caught up in the memes that are being pushed out from DOGE," a frustrated Loomer complained.

"People are getting distracted by this meme-like energy that is not just emitting from the Oval Office in these press conferences with President Trump and Elon, but also in the way that Elon and these lawmakers are now interacting."

"Because of his very large financial contribution to Republicans, to President Trump, he has a hold over them, and so they're doing his bidding, and they are in return pushing out the memes and making it more of a meme narrative."
