Steve Bannon Says He Told Trump to Investigate Musk as an ‘Illegal Alien
New York times ^ | 5th June 2025 | Tyler Page

Posted on 06/05/2025 8:37:54 PM PDT by Cronos

Stephen K. Bannon, one of Elon Musk’s most vocal critics, said he was advising the president to cancel all of the tech billionaire’s contracts and launch several investigations into the world’s richest man.

“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,” Mr. Bannon, the former top aide to President Trump who is now an influential ally and informal adviser, said in an interview.

...Mr. Bannon said the Trump administration should also investigate Mr. Musk’s drug use, as reported by The New York Times, and his effort to get a classified briefing on China from the Pentagon.

Mr. Musk’s security clearance should be suspended during these investigations, he added.

Bannon really needs a 12 step program.

Musk was and has been instrumental on so many levels for MAGA — even when he’s acting a fool, Trump shouldn’t demean him. :(

Like investigating Barack Obama?

How about Kamala Harris who was born to two non-U.S. citizen parents yet still served as Vice President?

How about Canadian Ted Cruz who illegally raised funds for his Presidential campaign without being a Natural Born Citizen?

Well, yes, but then again, Musk got personal really fast. something else happened behind the scenes. His comments were very personal, not just voicing mere disagreement over policy and legislation.

But this is just stupid...Musk is a US Citizen - you can’t deport a US Citizen. This is the same garbage that was being peddle by the ultra left last week, now Bannon promotes it now.

Musk should stop smoking pot as it is messing with his filter as time goes on...more temperamental. Also not functioning as quickly when asked questions in public forums...starts out as gibberish before getting collected in his thoughts. Just because he is a genius doesn’t mean he is immune from the brain rot.

Musk wormed his way into the administration for his own insidious purposes.

Musk has been a citizen since 2002. It is easy to check online. I posted it earlier.

Elon has Asperger’s perhaps he was neglecting to take his meds OR perhaps the stress of government shenanigans just was way too much for him!! Elon sees HUGE things wrong HOWEVER unlike running his companies he has NO CONTROL over fixing it!! The frustration of someone with Asperger’s is magnified!! Barron also suffers with Asperger’s Trump has probably been very patient with Elon due to this, however problems were arising with other cabinet members who DO NOT have the patients that Trump has had!!

It’s a well known fact. Bannon has a bad case of the brown bottle flu.

Bannon needs far more than a 12 step program, Bannon has had it out for Musk from the get go, I was an avid listener everyday I stopped listening about a month ago he has become a bore!! I enjoy Charlie Kirk!!!

This egotistical Bannon punk is getting to be a drag. He makes me think of the late Zsa Zsa Gabor, who was famous for being famous. But Zsa Zsa Gabor does have some movie credits. This Bannon person has nothing.

“Musk should stop smoking pot as it is messing with his filter as time goes on”

Not to mention Musk has a clearance, most likely Top Secret. Illegal drug use is still not allowed and will cause its loss, especially as close as he has been to the President who could revoke it any time he felt like it. I saw him smoke a joint on Rogan’s podcast last year which was really stupid.

Now we all know who came up with the idea to attack Musk.
The same guy who damaged Trump’s last 4 years.

Well that could explain the lack of filter and the Epstein tweet, but I've never know him to lose his cool that bigly before - pot would not help it.

As for Bannon: Bannon tells Cuomo Trump will run for and win a third term

He just makes up controversial stuff and throws it against the wall. This is just his latest nonsensical comment.

Bannon is one of the guys that you would really like to like, but he is just so much of loving himself and thinks he knows more than anybody else and insist on letting everybody else know that. I can see why he got fired from Trump’s administration, I didn’t figure it out for quite a while but this is a typical wild ass, unchained ego at work.
