“He is a truly evil guy, a very bad guy. I made it my personal thing to take this guy down,” Bannon added. “Before, because he put money in, I was prepared to tolerate it; I’m not prepared to tolerate it anymore.”
At the heart of the recent clash between Elon Musk and Steve Bannon is the immigration question, and specifically the H-1B visas for skilled immigrants working in “specialty occupations,” which Musk has said he supports. But for Bannon, the issue is emblematic of a bigger problem in Musk’s thinking.
“This thing of the H-1B visas, it’s about the entire immigration system is gamed by the tech overlords, they use it to their advantage, the people are furious,” Bannon said, noting that “76 percent of engineers working in Silicon Valley are non-Americans.”
“No blacks or Hispanics have any of these jobs or any access to these jobs,” Bannon said.
“Peter Thiel, David Sachs, Elon Musk, are all white South Africans,” Bannon observed. “He should go back to South Africa. Why do we have South Africans, the most racist people on earth, white South Africans, we have them making any comments at all on what goes on in the United States?”
What is this timeline where I’m rooting for Steve Bannon?
Don’t. He’s just mad he got replaced by Musk.
Correct as you are, I’d be
more happyless upset to see a Bannon-Trump WH than a Musk-Trump one. Even Bernie agrees with Steve Bannon on H-1B visas.They’re hyaenas at each others’ throats. The only thing to root for is that they tear each other to pieces.
Bannon just has his own brand of hate. We do not with with either a President Musk or Bannon victory. We, Americans, lose with either controlling vice president trump’s strings.
We’re living in the Weaselverse. Nothing makes sense any more.
Finally a sensible explanation
The correct answer when you find one of these dickheads making a good point is “fuck off to hell”
