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. Musk and Mr. Trump had a public falling out on Thursday, as each
attacked the other on social media. Mr. Musk, who leads the electric
car manufacturer Tesla, the rocket company SpaceX and the artificial intelligence start-up xAI, left his role last week as a special
government adviser tasked with slashing federal spending.
Bannon is an idiot. Musk is a naturalized American citizen. Unless it
can be found that Musk lied about a material disqualifying fact in
his citizenship application, he cannot have his citizenship revoked.
Bannon ought to tell Trump to investigate his wife's citizenship
application. The First Pole Dancer absolutely worked in NYC as a nude
model without a work permit.
