Bannon Savages Elon Musk For Wanting to Start ‘America Party’: ‘No, Brother, You’re Not an American’

Former Trump White House advisor turned MAGA podcaster, Steve Bannon, savaged Elon Musk on Friday over his ongoing calls to start a third party to challenge President Donald Trump and the GOP’s recent deficit spending.

Musk wrote on X on Friday, “Independence Day is the perfect time to ask if you want independence from the two-party (some would say uniparty) system!”

“Should we create the America Party?” he added, polling his followers with a “yes” and “no” option. He followed that post up with some specifics, adding, “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.” Musk’s posts are the latest sign of his split with President Trump, who he spent over $250 million to get reelected.

Bannon, who helped run Trump’s first campaign in 2016, tore into Musk and called for his deportation – something he has raised in the past.

“The foul, the buffoon. Elmo the Mook, formerly known as Elon Musk, Elmo the Mook. He’s today, in another smear, and this – only a foreigner could do this – think about it, he’s got up on, he’s got up on Twitter right now, a poll about starting an America Party, a non-American starting an America Party,” Bannon fumed, adding:

No, brother, you’re not an American. You’re a South African. We take enough time and prove the facts of that, you should be deported because it’s a crime of what you did – among many.

Bannon has become one of Musk’s fiercest critics in recent months, going so far as to call for a special counsel investigation into the Tesla billionaire, hammering the tech entrepreneur over his many government contracts and alleged drug use. Musk, who was born in South Africa, became a U.S. citizen in 2002.
