As though this week’s exchanges between Donald Trump and Elon Musk weren’t enough to keep us amused, who should come crawling out from under his rock to add to the fun but Trump’s former friend and noted right-wing conspiracy theorist . . . none other than Steve Bannon.

And it sounds as though he may be trying to get back into Trump’s good graces. In addition to pushing for an unconstitutional third term for his ex-boss . . .

. . . he is now taking Trump’s side against Musk by urging the administration to investigate the world’s wealthiest man for a variety of alleged misdeeds, including drug use, being in the pay of the Chinese government, and endangering national security in his role as head of DOGE.

Oh, and by the way — Bannon also questions Musk’s immigration status, and believes he may be subject to deportation.

In his own words:

“They have to do that. You have to take his security clearance. Investigate drug use and investigate his involvement [with China]. And you have to investigate his status as a citizen. If it turned out he overstayed visas and lied about it, it’s not right. It has to be investigated.” [Robert Costa, CBS News, June 6, 2025.]

I don’t know about you, but I haven’t had this much fun since I discovered “Would I Lie To You?” on British TV.

Just sayin’ . . .
