«There is a big debate taking place among supporters of President-elect Donald Trump over H-1B visas, which enables American employers to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations, such as highly-skilled technology roles.
Front and center of that debate but on opposing sides are two of Trump's most-prominent supporters: Technology billionaire Elon Musk and his former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon.
Musk, who helped to bankroll Trump's re-election campaign and is leading his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), sees H-1B visas as essential to attracting the best global talent to the U.S., strengthening American companies.
But Bannon, an architect of Trump's original Make America Great Again platform, argues that these visas mean American talent is sidelined or left undeveloped, which ultimately hurts the U.S. He wants them gone.
The rhetoric has been spiky at times. Musk, addressing critics of the H-1B visa in a post on X, wrote: "Take a big step back and F**K YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend."
(In replay Steve Bannon has labeled Elon Musk a "toddler") and on his War Room podcast called Musk and others "recent converts" and warned "we're going to rip your face off" if they "go to the pulpit in your first week here and start lecturing people about the way things are going to be."»
