Bannon Calls for Comprehensive Investigation of Musk: From Drugs, Immigration Status to CCP Relations
Former White House strategist Steve Bannon publicly spoke out, calling on Trump to conduct a comprehensive investigation of Musk, including his immigration status, drug use record, and relations with the Chinese Communist Party. "Many people, including myself, suggest that the president revoke all of Musk's government contracts and immediately launch a major investigation," Bannon stated. He further implied that Musk had attempted to obtain confidential military briefings from China and even invited Xi Jinping to his inauguration ceremony, suggesting his actions do not align with national security interests.Musk's Business Propped Up by Government?

According to The New York Times report, SpaceX received approximately $3.8 billion in government contracts in the 2024 fiscal year, accumulating over $20 billion from NASA, the US Air Force, and other agencies since 2008. The Washington Post had previously pointed out in February that Musk and his companies have received at least $38 billion in contracts, subsidies, loans, and tax benefits from the US government over the past two decades.
