Bannon, who has been notably critical of Musk&#8217;s contributions to the Department of Government Efficiency, recommended that President Donald Trump initiate an investigation into Musk&#8217;s immigration status. Bannon expressed dissatisfaction with Musk&#8217;s unfulfilled promises regarding identifying waste, fraud, and abuse in government spending, emphasizing that no concrete evidence has been provided despite Musk&#8217;s claims of extensive cuts. This criticism arises amid a growing rift between Trump and Musk, with <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >recent public exchanges reflecting<\/a> their strained relationship. Musk has criticized Trump&#8217;s economic policies and threatened to decommission SpaceX&#8217;s contracts following Trump&#8217;s comments about revoking them. the tumultuous exchange has caused Tesla&#8217;s stock to decline sharply.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Steve Bannon says Elon Musk should be deported &lsquo;immediately&rsquo;<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2140816\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>Former White House chief strategist&nbsp;<a href=\"http:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/steve-bannon\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Steve Bannon<\/a> said he has advised President <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Donald Trump<\/a> to &ldquo;immediately&rdquo; deport <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/elon-musk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Elon Musk<\/a> from the United States.<\/p>\n<p>Bannon, who has been critical of Musk and his work with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/department-of-government-efficiency\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">Department of Government Efficiency<\/a> for months, reportedly said on Thursday that he suggested Trump launch an investigation into Elon Musk&rsquo;s immigration status.<\/p>\n<div class=\"recommended-stories\">\n<h2>Recommended Stories<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3433017\/trump-musk-feud-republican-response\/\">Team Trump vs. Team Musk: Republicans torn as billionaire bromance ends<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3432873\/trump-travel-ban-what-to-know-countries-affected\/\">Trump travel ban: What to know as 12 nations are barred from entry to US<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3433020\/trump-doesnt-mind-elon-musk-turning-against-me-social-media-feud\/\">Trump says he doesn&#8217;t mind &#8216;Elon turning against me&#8217; in first post since Musk&#8217;s Epstein files claim<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>&ldquo;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,&rdquo; Bannon <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/live\/2025\/06\/05\/us\/trump-elon-musk\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"\">told<\/a> the <em>New York Times.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On his <em>War Room<\/em> podcast Thursday, Bannon also strongly rebuked Musk&rsquo;s lack of delivering on promised evidence of waste, fraud, and abuse within the federal government.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">For all the Elon fanboys: Elon promised a trillion dollars in cuts but delivered rescissions with no teeth.<\/p>\n<p>Fanboys, grab your pencils: The GOP shot down the real fight.
