The MAGA world is exploding after a fierce war of words between Donald Trump and Elon Musk—and Steve Bannon has jumped into the fight with a shocking demand.
Bannon told The New York Times on Thursday that Trump should immediately deport Musk, calling him a “parasitic illegal immigrant.” “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.
Musk, who was born in South Africa and became a U.S. citizen in 2002, has been openly attacking Trump recently—including accusing him of involvement in the “Epstein Files,” a claim that sent shockwaves through MAGA circles.
Bannon’s demand to deport Musk adds fuel to an already raging fire. Rep. Adam Smith also weighed in on X, writing, “Far be it for me to offer Trump advice but if he wants to get back at Musk there’s a simple option. Send ICE after him. Deport him for lying about his immigration history when he applied for citizenship. Come on Don. Don’t let Musk push you around.”
Bannon also accused Musk of regular drug use and trying to get access to classified U.S. briefings on China, which Trump reportedly blocked.
On his WarRoom podcast, Bannon blasted Musk’s attacks on Trump, calling them “unprecedented and unnecessary.” He said, “Some of the things he’s putting up are just outside the bounds of any, forget civility, but any type of behavior.”
Bannon ended his podcast segment boasting about his influence, saying, “You don’t want to get into a fight with Steve Bannon… Bannon is going to win this thing.”
