Trump-Musk Fallout Escalates: Bannon Calls for Radical Action
In a dramatic turn of events on Thursday, the escalating conflict between former President Donald Trump and tech mogul Elon Musk has drawn sharp reactions from key figures, including Steve Bannon. The controversy ignited when Trump hinted on Truth Social that the government might cancel contracts with Musk’s companies, suggesting it could save taxpayers “billions of dollars.” In response, Musk announced the decommissioning of the Dragon Spacecraft, jeopardizing the U.S. capability to send astronauts into space.
Bannon, a well-known Trump ally, argued for urgent and aggressive actions. He urged Trump to invoke the Defense Production Act to seize control of SpaceX by midnight. “The U.S. Government should seize it,” he proclaimed, emphasizing the need to address the growing tensions.
Taking his rhetoric further, Bannon called for an investigation into Musk’s immigration status, implying he could be subject to deportation. He stated, “If we are going to deport illegal aliens, you gotta deport illegal aliens.” He also raised concerns about Musk’s reported drug use and security clearance, asserting that these issues should lead to suspending all contracts with him.
Bannon has previously accused Musk of being an “agent of influence” for the Chinese Communist Party due to his ties with Tesla, a claim he reiterated, emphasizing the potential national security risks posed by Musk’s actions.
“This is no longer just about MAGA or the Republican Party,” Bannon declared. “This is a national security issue concerning a very unstable individual making dangerous statements about the President of the United States.” As the fallout continues, the implications for both Trump and Musk remain uncertain, raising questions about the future of U.S. space endeavors and political alliances.
