Bannon calls for special counsel probe of Musk

  • Steve Bannon, a former Trump advisor and MAGA podcaster, urged the initiation of a formal inquiry into Elon Musk regarding his government contracts and alleged behavior in 2025.
  • Bannon's calls followed Musk’s public split with Trump and were fueled by Bannon's view that 90 percent of SpaceX's $15.5 billion revenue derives from government contracts.
  • Bannon also alleged Musk used drugs before a White House confrontation with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, and he called for revoking Musk’s security clearance.
  • Bannon asserted that SpaceX, primarily funded through government contracts that constitute about 90% of its income, should be nationalized, highlighting the company's valuation at $318 billion.
  • The dispute intensified Musk’s fallout with Trump and suggests mounting scrutiny of Musk’s government ties and personal behavior amid political and legal pressures.
