Laura Loomer escalates MAGA feud: Elon Musk using Trump to 'establish a monarchy'
Right-wing agitator Laura Loomer warned her MAGA followers that billionaire Elon Musk was using President-elect Donald Trump to "establish a monarchy" in the United States.
During a Monday interview on Steve Bannon's War Room podcast, Loomer complained she had been demonetized on the X social media platform after criticizing Musk's use of H-1B immigrant visas.
"He is the richest man in the world, and so he kind of orbits President Trump. As I called him the other day, I said he's a stage five clinger," she opined. "I've been demonetized now, I've had my check mark taken away, [Trump advisers] realize that, well, their input to President Trump is now being overshadowed by the richest man in the world who has these ulterior motives."
"Does he really support MAGA and the America First agenda, or is he trying to push this neo-reactionary political movement so that we can establish a monarchy and have multi-polarity?" she continued. "So I think that he doesn't like the fact that somebody who has direct access to President Trump, as I do, and that's very well known, challenged him in a very public manner."
Loomer argued that it was unacceptable for billionaires like Musk "to have this much power and this much access so that not only are they gonna have government access to our money and government influence, as we saw over the spending bill, by threatening primaries against people who don't comply with his wishes."

"But this is a guy who gets government subsidies for defense contracts and now wants to silence people who challenge him online," she complained.
Bannon praised Loomer for escalating the public spat with Musk.
"It's unfortunate that things have escalated, it's unfortunate that the MAGA base has had to sustain abuse from the richest man in the world, being called re---ds and saying F you in the face, okay?" Loomer replied. "I do believe that this tech infiltration is the greatest threat to our country and humanity as a whole."
