Summary

Steve Bannon, former Trump strategist, sharply criticized Elon Musk over his support for H-1B visas, accusing him of undermining American workers.

On his "War Room" podcast, Bannon warned Musk to adopt MAGA’s “America First” stance or face backlash, calling for a complete immigration moratorium.

Musk, a proponent of skilled foreign labor, has defended H-1B visas for filling tech jobs, citing a lack of qualified Americans, sparking controversy.

Trump's unexpected support for H-1B workers has further divided MAGA supporters, escalating tensions between Trump allies and Musk.

I've been equating Trump supporters to teenagers crying about having to do chores and thinking they'd manage the house better than their parents if they were only given a chance!

Well they've had problems retrieving some of those boxes of confidential information, though it's likely that the contents of said information could have been long gone.
