Elon Musk’s war on MAGA has quickly gone nuclear after the billionaire CEO blasted a social media user’s comments about HB1 visas Friday, and former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon called him a “toddler” for his response.

The backlash escalated Thursday, when Vivek Ramaswamy, in a post on X, criticized an American culture that he said “venerated mediocrity over excellence.”
