Steve Bannon told MAGA “convert” Elon Musk to “sit in the back and study” or “we’re going to rip your face off” as escalating tensions over work visas continued.

On Tuesday’s WarRoom, Bannon argued Musk has “earned a seat at the table” after his massive donations to President-elect Donald Trump’s run, but he also blasted the tech giant as ignorant on immigration issues. Bannon has argued that H-1B work visas are used by tech leader’s like Musk to drive down wages. He’s also said they are directly opposed to Trump’s immigration agenda.

Musk has meanwhile argued H-1B visas fill widening skills gaps in the American workforce. He’s earned blowback for retaliating against critics on X and endorsing a post calling American workers “retarded.” If you can work out the mathematical formulas and the engineering complexity of sending a colony of human beings to Mars and keep them alive, you can work through the math on this,” Bannon said. He claimed Musk’s immigration views are motivated by “money and power.”

“This is about money and power. It’s not about race. It’s not about gender. It’s not about ethnicity. It’s not about religion. That’s what they want you to believe it is. So you like a bucket of crabs at each other’s throat? It’s not about. That’s about money and power,” Bannon said. “And Karl Rove is going to get his 54 big donors down there. They’re going to figure out how to stop Trump or how to compromise it.” Bannon previously said this week that “escalation” between Musk and his MAGA critics is good and he has no plans on compromising his position or giving into calls for a “group hug.”

So much (including Rove going right under the bus).

[hlthe2b]

1. Bannon is a racist a'hole of the first order... but he's no moron...

ELON may have met his match.

[whathehell]

6. ..at least he got the H1B Visa thing right

Broken clocks and such.

[William Seger]

18. Yes, "Musk's immigration views are motivated by money and power."

... whereas Bannon's views are motivated by xenophobia, bigotry, and hatred.

[Evolve Dammit]

23. not sure who to despise more..

[czarjak]

37. They can't decide whom to hate first either.

Nazi priorities don't align with Klan priorities.

[whathehell]

32. The H1B is about Cheap Labor..

A book called "America: Who stole the Dream"? written by Barlett and Steele discussed, among other things, the problems and abuses of the H1B Visa.

[mdbl]

14. Well they are both major assholes trying to outdo each other

[TBF]

2. Rove belongs under that bus ...

but then I'd shove Bannon and Musk down there too

[Deminpenn]

3. Please proceed

[brush]

4. I need more popcorn.

[ProfessorGAC]

5. Maybe A Dump Truck Full

Or a railcar hopper!

[brush]

10. Maybe a cocktail or two also.

[generalbetrayus]

7. My daughter and son-in-law gave me a huge tin of popcorn for Christmas.

They hate Trump and MAGA and are well aware of what we are in for in the near future.

[Irish_Dem]

8. Interesting that they were able to keep quiet about their differences until after the election.

They decided first to win, then fight out the differences afterwards.
Good strategy.

[question everything]

21. If memory serves, Bannon was in jail until a few days before the elections

[Irish_Dem]

25. He is not the only one who could have caused trouble for Trump.

But none of them did.

They waited until after the election to fight it out.

They had serious differences but backed their leader.
Now that he is headed for the WH, they are fighting it out.

[generalbetrayus]

9. I don't approve of violence like Bannon proposed, but ripping off Musk's face

might actually improve his looks.

[brush]

12. Didn't he have some work done already...cheek inplants or something?

Didn't help much with that odd face.

[Kali999]

16. scalp reduction

[brush]

17. I get that absolutely...his head being full of himself too.

[Buddyzbuddy]

11. Crap! I'm so confused.

I agree with Bannon on H-1b visas. It's hypocrisy at it's height. Per Maga, we need the "illegal immigrants" out because they're taking our jobs. But we need H-1b visas so we can bring in the "right" immigrants to take our jobs. How does the slobfather get away with using H-1b's to bring in "highly qualified" staff to his golf clubs. I guess having a European accent qualifies as a technical skill while serving drinks and food. Maybe it helps sell the far away vacation ambience to the members. Like Fantasy Island.
I still despise Bannon. But I love the infighting.

[EarnestPutz]

15. Some of the "highly qualified" people at Mar-a-Largo, with H-1b visas, are $15 an hour kitchen and groundskeeping help.

In Florida!!! FFS.

[question everything]

24. Whiny may have been confused with H-2B Visa

https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/immigration/h2b

The H-2B nonimmigrant program permits employers to temporarily hire nonimmigrants to perform nonagricultural labor or services in the United States. The employment must be of a temporary nature for a limited period of time such as a one-time occurrence, seasonal need, peakload need or intermittent need. The H-2B program requires the employer to attest to the Department of Labor that it will offer a wage that equals or exceeds the highest of the prevailing wage, applicable Federal minimum wage, the State minimum wage, or local minimum wage to the H-2B nonimmigrant worker for the occupation in the area of intended employment during the entire period of the approved H-2B labor certification. The H-2B program also establishes certain recruitment and displacement standards in order to protect similarly employed U.S. workers.

[Buddyzbuddy]

40. Thank you question everything.

I learned something new. Your post encouraged me to research the difference between H1 and H2.

[cstanleytech]

13. That's no way to talk to the future President. tsk tsk

[paleotn]

19. Don't think Elmo will like that much. Particularly coming from a has been old sot.. But I do have a solution....

THUNDER DOME!!!!!! What's more maga than that?

&t=114s&ab_channel=Movieclips

[The Madcap]

26. Bannon could raise his arms

And Elmo would pass out from the stench. Battle over...

[union rep]

20. Sell Your Tesla

How cool would that be if Musk quiets Bannon and gets caught? Of course nothing would happen as a result, but all kid on the side unless this is a scam, this nazi musk is kind of freaky that way you know what I mean?

[JoseBalow]

22. Delightful!

[dalton99a]

27. More

[uncledad]

28. Bannon is a real

asshole and a vile racist piece of shit but he is about the only "high profile" political pundit and or elected official to call Eloon out. I certainly don't see many on the left give him the business in such a unapologetic manner. Every one else seems scared shitless that they'll get primaried or called names on the Twitter machine. Let him have it, sloppy Steve, please proceed!

[Aussie105]

29. Already fighting over the spoils of War?

Fighting over the imagined 'benefits' they will receive, 'rightfully', under a 'Trump' administration?

Bannon expects this, Musk expects that?

Hopefully they will eat each other and disappear.

Wishing for something to come out of left field and scuttling their ego driven plans.

. . . I'm wandering off muttering dark words about Trump's age, senility, bad diet, sad mental state, etc.

Expect a multiplicity of fights for power and influence if Trump doesn't want to actually do the POTUS job - Bannon, Musk, Vance, maybe a few others.

[Polybius]

30. I'd ban him for that if I were Musk

There's no free speech in threats.

[Aussie105]

31. I'm at a loss . . .

trying to decide which level of Dante's 9 levels of Hell is appropriate for each.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

33. I'd put them right down in the center.

Locked waist deep in ice and pummeling each other for all eternity.
Give Satan a break.

[DonCoquixote]

34. a quote from kissinger comes to mind

"diplomacy is the act of making our enemies fight each other."

[usonian]

35. Will Elon give him a new Tesla to appease him?

Does he know who's driving?



I've already got my presidental placemat! (note, all there, just a bit out of order)



OR WILL BANNON HURL THE HOLY HAND GRENADE?



I'm ready

[czarjak]

36. Avowed Leninist Catholic isn't Chief Strategist anymore?

Sad!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

38. Let 'em kill each other

[PortTack]

39. Bannon doesn't need musk to throw him under the bus...he just did it to himself!

[Xipe Totec]

41. Speaking of face eating leopards... nt

[travelingthrulife]

42. Isn't this human garbage bag supposed to be on trial now?

The fighting is inevitable . That's all these people do.

[BumRushDaShow]

43. Pushed to February

Steve Bannon set for New York trial starting Feb. 25, judge rules

[Kid Berwyn]

44. When NAZIs Collide

They both feel disrespected and vow to kill one another. Perfectly normal.

[malthaussen]

45. Who are you calling "we," you disgusting coward?

Of course, any disagreement among the MAGA crowd is welcome, but I can't abide Mr Bannon pretending to be a tough guy.

-- Mal

[ificandream]

46. Can we get a no-holds-barred cage match?

Actually, make it a four-man match with Vince McMahon and Hulk Hogan?

No holds barred. Sounds like a great idea.

[Mr.Bill]

48. As a sidebar to this topic,

Bannon is the first person I have seen who came out of prison looking better than when he went in.

[Attilatheblond]

56. No buffet, no open bar, and if ya don't shower, the guards being fire hoses?

[Mr.Bill]

59. Yeah, something like that. n/t

[ArizonaLib]

47. Like when chimps attack their owners?

[pfitz59]

49. MAGA Civil War

Let them weaken themselves and fracture into tiny little pieces small enough to flush.

[Justice matters.]

50. Stay away from 47th floor balconies Steeeeve...

Oligarch One can afford a lot of bad stuff I heard.

[LW1977]

51. All a bag of rats!

Fight fight fight!

[boonecreek]

52. Now now boys, don't fight.

You're both despicable.

[JPK]

53. Musk v Bannon?

Let's see, the richest man in the world vs a racist old sot that needs a personal groomer. I'm sure if Musk wanted to find a solution to dealing with Bannon's cranky crap, he could do it very discretely.

[RANDYWILDMAN]

54. Dear Homeland security

I would like to report a threat to a citizen, by a former criminal named Steve Bannon, jk really don't care if bad things happen to both of them..

[viva la]

55. "Money and power," Bannon sneers....

while saying Musk "earned a seat at the table" by donating millions to get power.

Also, since when does Bannon and the GOP care about American workers and wages???

[LudwigPastorius]

57. Bannon Tells...Musk To 'Sit in the Back...or We're Going To Rip Your Face Off!'

Too late for that.

[C0RI0LANUS]
