Former MSNBC host Keith Olbermann has urged for the deportation of Tesla mogul Elon Musk, suggesting that President Biden should leverage presidential immunity to “get the F out of our country.” Olbermann, a vocal critic of former President Trump, expressed his frustration with Musk’s criticism of FEMA and his support for the Republican nominee on X (formerly Twitter), where Musk has over 200 million followers.
In a video promoting his podcast, Olbermann stated, “It is now time to cancel all of Elon Musk’s government contracts. Tesla, SpaceX, whatever other projects he’s involved in.” Ironically, while condemning Musk, Olbermann shared the video on X, the platform owned by Musk.
He accused Musk of disseminating “potentially fatal disinformation” regarding FEMA’s recovery efforts, especially amid mixed messages from the Biden administration about FEMA resources for migrants. “He is also turning Twitter X into a Trump advertising campaign. It’s time to cancel all contracts and reassess his immigration status—hopefully deport him the hell out of the country,” Olbermann added.
“If we can’t do that by conventional means, President Biden, you have presidential immunity,” he continued. “Get Elon Musk the F out of our country and do it now.”
Olbermann’s remarks followed Musk’s appearance with Trump at a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, shortly after Trump’s return following an assassination attempt. During the rally, Musk remarked on the importance of character under pressure, contrasting past presidents and emphasizing the stakes of the upcoming election.
“This is a must-win situation,” Musk told a crowd of 60,000, highlighting the need to protect basic freedoms.
Known for his fiery criticism of Trump, Olbermann has a history of controversial statements and actions, including moving out of a luxury apartment building owned by Trump and previously declaring that Trump’s actions had caused more damage to the U.S. than the 9/11 attacks. Olbermann’s outspoken style often includes harsh language and pointed remarks aimed at Trump and his family.
