'Scam by the oligarchs!' Steve Bannon piles on Elon Musk in MAGA civil war

Raw Story  

Former Donald Trump adviser turned far-right pundit Steve Bannon came down hard against tech billionaire Elon Musk in the battle that flared up this week between right-wing businessmen and the MAGA activist class, The New Republic reported on Friday. The heart of the issue is the H1-B visa system, which is used to give work permits to high-skilled white collar workers, like software engineers, who want to immigrate to the U.S. Musk, who was born in South Africa and ironically has been reported as once having worked illegally in the U.S. himself, relies on these programs at many of his companies, which puts him at odds with much of the MAGA community that not only wants to crack down on illegal immigration, but restrict legal immigration as well. To let them in through the golden door.” Bannon's commentary comes shortly after Laura Loomer, a self-described "Proud Islamophobe," Trump confidante, and multiple-time failed congressional candidate in Florida, blew up at Musk on his own X platform for the same reason. "The elephant in the room is that Elon Musk, who is not MAGA and never has been, is a total f------ drag on the Trump transition," she raged.
