Musk Predicts Long Prison Term for Bannon After Deportation Remark
By : Krishna Mishra
In the latest development in their ongoing feud, Elon Musk and Steve Bannon have each predicted severe legal repercussions for the other.
What Happened: Bannon has suggested that Musk, a naturalized U.S. citizen, should be deported.
During the war of words on X, Musk, in turn, predicted that Bannon - who previously served a four-month sentence for contempt of Congress - could face a longer prison term.
Bannon has expressed criticism of Musk’s plans to establish a new political party. He questioned the legitimacy of a “non-American” starting an America Party and suggested that Musk, who was born in South Africa, “may be here illegally.”
Musk responded by predicting that Bannon would return to prison for a long time, stating, “He has a lifetime of crime to pay for.” He did not specify the crimes that could potentially land Bannon back in prison.
