American" The political landscape was rattled this week as Steve Bannon, former chief strategist to President Donald Trump, launched a vitriolic assault on Elon Musk, labeling the South African-born billionaire "not American" in response to his newly formed "America Party.

Former Trump aide Steve Bannon tore into Elon Musk on Friday after the billionaire backed the creation of a new political party. Earlier this week, Musk announced he would help launch the “America Party” as an alternative to Republicans and Democrats if Congress passed President Donald Trump’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act.

After Steve Bannon falsely claimed the world’s richest person isn’t American, Musk fired back by calling Bannon a “fat, drunken slob.”
