Billionaire CEO Elon Musk’s public feud with Steve Bannon is not fizzling out.
Elon Musk took to X to claim that Steve Bannon is “going back to prison” as tensions between Musk and President Donald Trump continue to escalate.
“Bannon is going back to prison. This time for a long time,” Musk wrote in response to a user saying Bannon wants to “nationalize” Musk’s Space X.
The post Musk was replied to was itself a response to a Truth Social post in which Trump that targeted Musk. The president claimed once again that Musk’s problem with his Big Beautiful Bill budget is that it cuts electric vehicle mandates. Musk and Trump’s relationship has soured over the bill, with Musk calling it an “abomination” that will add to the national debt. Trump has hit back by teasing looking into cutting Musk’s government contracts.
The poll Bannon referenced brought in more than 1.2 million votes, with around 65% backing Musk’s idea for “the America Party.”
Musk further explained, “One way to execute on this would be to laser-focus on just 2 or 3 Senate seats and 8 to 10 House districts. Given the razor-thin legislative margins, that would be enough to serve as the deciding vote on contentious laws, ensuring that they serve the true will of the people.”
In a July 5 early morning X post, Musk again called for Bannon to go to prison, something that’s become fairly regular for Musk.
Bannon previously served four months behind bars last year for contempt of Congress after he refused to comply with a subpoena from a congressional subcommittee investigating the Jan. 6 Capitol riot.
Billionaire Elon Musk announced the launch of his new political party on Saturday, but has yet to share any further details on how he plans to navigate the red tape to establish a viable alternative.
Elon Musk’s plan to launch a new US political party could split the Republicans, Donald Trump’s allies have warned.
Musk, who until recently was a key Trump ally, said the America Party would adopt a “laser focus” on winning a handful of Senate seats and House districts in a bid to sway key votes on legislation.
Baby Musk does not like it in the sandbox that has made him known so well known among his playmates. Some of them got out because he was bullying them. Therefore, just like any upset little kid, he now wants his own sandbox, Not sure why, but maybe the problems with his little cars that don’t work well and end up as junk along the side of the rod, lead him to this. He ought to just fix his little cars, lower their cost, and many people can buy them for Christmas. In the meantime, he has to keep the cameras on himself by wanting a new party. As a South African, is he allowed to do that?
The problem is, who can tell him not to, as the most wealthy person in the world, he can buy anything or anyone out. Someone once said “Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.” Money does talk. Money is needed. But powerful oligarchs are not needed whether Marxists, Democrats or Republicans. He and the Communist running for mayor of New York City
must be a new Marxists and are going to fool Americans with The American Party which who people who aren’t actually American. Didn’t someone do that back in the 40’s?
So Bannon served for contempt of Congress. Okay, then the same damn thing has to happen for these fools not willing to testify in this biden investigation.
BTW, Musk is becoming a pissy little SOB and I am losing all respect for him. I do believe he thought he was going to jointly run this nation next to Trump, and when he was pushed out of the inner circle he blew a fuse.
