Former Trump official and conservative commentator Steve Bannon reignited his feud with Elon Musk Saturday after urging the South African native to be deported to his home country on his podcast “War Room.”

Bannon’s comments came shortly after President Donald Trump signed an executive order requiring all companies to pay a $100,000 annual fee for every employee hired through an H-1B visa, an announcement that sent shockwaves through the corporate world, much of which has become reliant on cheap foreign labor.

Bannon has historically feuded with Musk over H-1B visas, with Bannon calling them a form of “indentured servitude,” and Musk, championing them and pledging to “go to war on this issue.”

“We started this drama in Mar-a-Lago I guess in late December, early January where I got into it with Vivek Ramaswamy and the great 'Elmo' Musk,” Bannon said. “By the way, he's totally illegal, he came in on an H-1B scam and then scammed the whole thing about his record.”

Bannon also mentioned recent calls from MAGA lawmakers to deport Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), a sitting member of Congress and United States citizen, for her criticism of Charlie Kirk’s past controversial comments in the wake of his killing.

“If you want to go after Omar – and I do, to toss her out of the country and send her back to the horn of Africa – I want to toss out Elon 'Elmo' and send him back to South Africa, because he's here on a different version of the scam,” Bannon continued. “...Screw you, dude! You're a foreigner that is taking advantage of foreign labor at the detriment of American citizens.”

Musk’s company Tesla is heavily reliant on H-1B visas, having brought in 724 employees from the program in 2023 alone. Musk himself entered the United States on a similar visa.

The clash between the two over H-1B visas stems back to late last year, and exploded into the public in June after Bannon first urged the Trump administration to launch a probe into Musk’s immigration status, and his alleged use of illegal drugs.

With Trump’s latest announcement, however, an announcement expected to significantly reduce the use of H-1B visas in the United States, Bannon also took a moment to gloat for having gained ground on the debate.

“Given where we were at the beginning of this fight in January, and this was going to be the hill that Elon Musk died on... he's bleeding out a little bit, isn't he, from where President Trump has come?” Bannon said.
