1) I have not liked the attacks on @elonmusk by Steve Bannon. I understand what Bannon's concerns are. But in the past few months no one has been a bigger MAGA warrior than Elon.

2) That said, Bannon has a much clearer grasp of how things work and what the battle is.

@elonmusk 3) You may remember in 2016 that Bannon warned, "Did you think they'd just give you your country back?"

4) He knew this was not going to be a single act, bill, or executive order but at THAT time was the beginning of a long war.

@elonmusk 5) Elon, welcome to the battlefield. You thought because you and your great team exposed OBVIOUS fraud, OBVIOUS waste, and OBVIOUS corruption that the "good guys" would just run with that?

6) Er, no. Less than 30% of DC, even with MAGA, are "good guys."

@elonmusk 6) Many, perhaps most so-called "conservative" senators are bought, owned by either Big Pharma or the military.

7) Many of the House, not important enough to buy outright, are hostages to the Freedom Caucus Purity standards that are their primary FUNDRAISING INSTRUMENTS.

@elonmusk 8) As you know Elon, in marketing you can appeal to either hopes/dreams or fear. The Freedom Caucus, for all the good they've done, are largely now in fundraising mode with the equivalent of "goldbug" letters to elderly people.

9) "Reelect me or the DEBT will kill us all."

@elonmusk 10) NO ONE should lose heart. NO ONE should falter. If an army stopped the first time the enemy launched a counter attack, they'd NEVER win. There will be battle wounds. Elon, you got some.

11) Welcome to the club.

12) Now wipe the dirt off your armor and GET BACK IN THE FIGHT!
