MAGA influencer Steve Bannon argued that President Donald Trump's administration should move to strip Elon Musk's federal contracts after he floated launching a new political party.
On his Wednesday War Room podcast, Bannon noted that Linda Yaccarino, the CEO of Musk's X platform, announced her resignation.
"The CEO of Twitter just resigned, Linda Yaccarino, who was hired to add some adult supervision on something that's totally out of control," he said. "Not just that, the stuff he said about President Trump, the Trump movement, this new third party, all this crazy stuff he's talking about."
"He's a major defense contractor," he continued. "Any board of directors of any defense contractors, number one, would have put Elmo on a leave, on administrative or psychiatric leave. They would have demanded his security clearance been pulled. They would have done a complete review."
"Or your contracts are cut. SpaceX, Starlink, all of it."
Bannon insisted other defense contractors would never have allowed Musk's behavior to continue.
"Are you nuts?" he exclaimed. "You're all liable. If you can't keep Elmo in his playpen, right? If you can't, you're responsible."
"And you shouldn't have uncontrollable people as defense contractors."
