Elon Musk and Steve Bannon�s increasingly bitter feud erupted again this week, with Musk calling for Bannon to be imprisoned while Bannon lashed out over Musk�s proposal to form a new political party.

�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 in a post on X, responding to Bannon�s criticism of his recent calls for a third-party movement.

Bannon, for his part, mocked Musk with a series of insults on his podcast, calling him �Elmo the Mook� and questioning whether a non-American should be allowed to start what Musk has described as an �America Party.�

�He�s today, in another smear � only a foreigner could do this � think about it, he�s got up on Twitter right now, a poll about starting an America Party, a non-American starting an America Party,� Bannon said, referencing a poll Musk posted on Independence Day.

Musk�s online survey drew more than 1.2 million responses, with roughly 65% supporting his idea of creating a new party to �serve the true will of the people.� In follow-up comments, Musk suggested targeting two or three Senate seats and eight to ten House districts, arguing that a small but decisive bloc of lawmakers could hold the balance of power on contentious legislation.

The renewed spat comes after Musk�s work as a special government employee with the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) ended, and as his relationship with President Donald Trump has deteriorated. Musk has publicly criticized Trump�s so-called �Big Beautiful Bill,� calling it an �abomination� that would further inflate the national debt.

Yesterday, Musk doubled down on his attacks against Bannon, once again calling for the former Trump advisor to be imprisoned � part of a pattern of repeated jabs in recent weeks.

Bannon, who served four months in federal prison last year for contempt of Congress after refusing to comply with a subpoena related to the Jan. 6 investigation, has continued to hit back at Musk, portraying him as out of touch and unfit to shape American politics.
