'Who the hell is this man?' MSNBC's Michael Steele goes off on Trump advisor
During a discussion about how Elon Musk has gone to war with Donald Trump's base over foreign workers, MSNBC host Michael Steele finally had enough and ripped into the tech billionaire who seems to be calling the shots for the president-elect.
As part of his battle to make his point that the U.S. needs more H-1B foreign workers because American workers don't measure up, Musk got into a X spat with a commenter and told them "f--k you in the face" –– which in turn set "The Weekend" co-host off.
"You've got Vivek [Ramaswamy] and Elon sitting here talking about how lazy white men are, just to break this down because that is what they said, that is why everybody got upset," he began.

"Elon may want to go to war on an issue like this but he's going to war against a base that does not want Vivek Ramaswamy here, even though he's a citizen," he laughed.
"Elon Musk is not hiring Donald Trump's base to come work at SpaceX. Can we be clear about that? He's not hiring that base to come work at Google or whatever company he buys next," he continued. "This is the way it is, or am I missing something because that is what I'm reading in that long screed, as my friend Symone [Sanders Townsend] called it yesterday, was laid out by Vivek very clearly stating , and now emphasized by Elon himself, talking about take a big step back and F yourself in the face?"
"Who the hell is this man?" he exclaimed.
"Except an immigrant," he added. "I mean, I don't get it."
