Elon Musk goes nuclear on Bannon over ‘new party’ criticism, says prison awaits ‘fat, drunken slob’

Elon Musk is not holding back, continuing his feud with podcaster Steve Bannon and issuing threats of imprisonment.

Bannon has already done time behind bars after being found in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena, as a subcommittee investigated the events of Jan 6. Now, Musk is saying he could be right back in the slammer as the two continue their social media war of words.

As BizPac Review previously reported, Musk teased the idea of forming a third political party, which he dubbed the “America Party.” This was heavily supported on his platform:

Bannon was not a fan of this and responded with the possibility of deporting the South African entrepreneur, to which Musk shot back a retort of his own.

The fat, drunken slob called Bannon will go back to prison and this time for a long time. He has a lifetime of crime to pay for.

“The fat, drunken slob called Bannon will go back to prison and this time for a long time. He has a lifetime of crime to pay for,” Musk wrote.

X users weighed in on the public beef:
