Donald Trump ally, Steve Bannon called for Elon Musk to be deported after the billionaire’s messy public break with the president on Thursday.
Bannon told the New York Times that the Trump administration should investigate Musk’s immigration status and deport him back to South Africa.
“They should initiate a formal investigation of his immigration status because I am of the strong belief that he is an illegal alien, and he should be deported from the country immediately,” Bannon said.
Bannon added that the Trump administration should also investigate Musk’s alleged drug use, as recently reported by the Times.
There’s no love lost between Bannon, Trump’s former adviser and Musk, Trump’s biggest campaign donor in the 2024 presidential election.
Bannon and Musk had a public feud over access to H-1B visas before Trump was inaugurated. Bannon also referred to Musk as a “truly evil guy” and a “racist” who has no place in the MAGA movement.
The latest feud between Bannon and Musk stems from Musk very public feud with Trump on Thursday which began after Musk criticized Trump’s massive budget bill.
Musk called the bill, which encompasses Trump’s entire domestic policy agenda, a “disgusting abomination” and demanded that Congress “KILL the BILL.”
Trump responded by saying he is “very disappointed” with Musk and threatened to cancel Musk’s lucrative government contracts. Musk then fired off a series of posts on X, saying Trump wouldn’t have won the 2024 presidential election without him, that Trump is on Jeffrey Epstein’s list and called for the president to be impeached and replaced with JD Vance.
