Bannon calls for special counsel probe of Musk

Former White House aide and conservative commentator Steve Bannon advocates for a special counsel investigation into Elon Musk after last week’s significant dispute between Musk and President Trump.

“I think the most effective approach is a special counsel that can oversee everything,” Bannon commented in an interview with journalist Chuck Todd released this week. “It’s important to temporarily revoke any security clearances relating to drugs and thoroughly investigate the alleged drug situation.”

Bannon’s remarks refer to a New York Times article that details purported drug use by Musk during the months leading up to the 2024 election while he collaborated closely with Trump and other administration figures.

Musk, when asked about the alleged drug use during a press conference with Trump on his final day as a “special government employee,” dismissed the reporting and criticized the Times.

The billionaire tech and media mogul, who was granted vast access to Trump and his White House while he served as head of the new department of government efficiency, publicly clashed with the president over the spending bill Trump is trying to push through Congress.

After Musk criticized the bill, Trump threatened to cancel the businessman’s federal contracts and said he asked the Tesla CEO to leave as he was “wearing thin,” while Musk amplified a call for Trump to be replaced with Vice President Vance.

Bannon has been a steady critic of Musk for months, arguing the billionaire does not have the president’s best interest in mind, calling him a “technocrat” and suggesting he be removed from the country.
