MAGA influencer Steve Bannon took a victory lap after billionaire Elon Musk fell out of favor with President Donald Trump.

On his Wednesday War Room program, Bannon insisted that Medicaid cuts from Trump's so-called One Big Beautiful Bill would not result in reduced benefits.

"Remember, those people are not eligible for Medicaid," he opined. "They're not throwing anybody off. If you're not eligible, you're not eligible."

"But you've got to have rules," the host continued. "And this gets back to the Elon Musk of it all. Elon Musk screwed this administration and screwed the president as badly as you can."

"And hey, for all you fanboys out there, they're up at my grill, oh, you're so, why are you so negative? Because I told you he was a total phony and a fraud."

Bannon argued that Congress had relied too heavily on Musk to cut government spending.

"He suddenly went to the Capitol Hill and the House side," he recalled. "They're all running up to the microphone. Elon, can you please save us? Can you please save us?"

"No," he added. "We have to save ourselves."
