Today has been an absolute wild day in politics!
It’s not finished yet, though!!
Host of the War Room and former senior adviser to President Trump, Steve Bannon, has called for Elon Musk to be deported:
Per The New York Post:
Former White House official Steve Bannon urged President Trump on Thursday to investigate Elon Musk’s immigration status and deport him “immediately,” amid the war of words between the world’s richest man and the commander in chief.
“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, who served as Trump’s chief strategist during the president’s first term, told the New York Times.
Bannon added that the Trump administration should also probe Musk’s alleged drug use and his claims that the South African native attempted to get a classified Pentagon briefing on China.
Musk’s security clearance should be suspended while the investigation is conducted and contracts his various companies have with the federal government should also be canceled , Bannon advised.
Bannon also stated that Trump should seize SpaceX.

Steve Bannon, a former adviser to President Trump and a vocal critic of Elon Musk, urged Trump to retaliate against the SpaceX leader by targeting his business.
Bannon said on his “War Room Live” show Thursday that Trump should sign an executive order to use the Korean War-era national security mobilization law called the Defense Production Act to take control of SpaceX. “The U.S. government should seize it,” Bannon said. He said the administration also should strip Musk of his security clearance and suspend all federal contracts to Musk’s companies pending an investigation.
Bannon urged the president to begin deportation proceedings of the Tesla leader. “Elon Musk is illegal. He’s got to go too,” Bannon said. Musk, who was born in South Africa, has been a naturalized U.S. citizen for more than two decades.
