Musk Predicts Long Prison Term for Bannon After Deportation Remark

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.
