• Elon Musk and Steve Bannon’s feud intensifies as Musk claims Bannon is “going back to prison.” The remarks come amid ongoing tensions between Musk and President Trump over government policies and contracts.

AUSTIN, TX (TDR) – Elon Musk publicly claimed on Tuesday that Steve Bannon, an ally of President Trump, is “going back to prison.” The statement, posted on Musk’s platform X, highlights escalating tensions between Musk and President Trump regarding government policy and financial disputes.

“Bannon is going back to prison. This time for a long time,” Musk wrote, responding to a post alleging Bannon’s desire to “nationalize” Musk’s SpaceX operations. This exchange follows President Trump’s recent criticism of Musk’s stance on the Big Beautiful Bill budget, which Musk has called an “abomination” due to concerns about the national debt and electric vehicle mandates.

Musk vs. Bannon: The Escalating Feud

The conflict between Musk and Bannon has grown increasingly personal. Earlier this month, Musk referred to Bannon as a “communist” and accused him of “advocating crime.” Bannon has also criticized Musk, calling his efforts with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) a failure and opposing Musk’s calls for the creation of a third political party.

Bannon, who was released from custody in October 2024 after serving a short sentence for defying a congressional subpoena, remains a vocal critic of Musk. In recent months, he has publicly urged President Trump to consider taking control of SpaceX.

Broader Political Implications

This feud comes amid broader concerns about Musk’s government contracts. President Trump has hinted at reviewing Musk’s federal agreements in response to Musk’s resistance to the Big Beautiful Bill. “This administration will continue to prioritize fiscal responsibility and fair business practices,” a White House spokesperson said.
