An X user reposted a 2021 video of Musk, where he spoke about SpaceX’s plans for a fully reusable rocket. “Everyone’s basically—without knowing it—they’ve got a mental straight jacket on. They’ll work on optimizing the thing that should simply not exist,” the richest man in the world said at the time.

The user asserted that H-1B visas could be “something that shouldn't exist,” to which Musk replied, “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.”
Musk, who is set to co-lead the Department of Government Efficient under the forthcoming Donald Trump administration, warned the user, “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.”
The SpaceX founder's scathing tweet did not sit well among netizens, with former Trump chief strategist Steve Bannon seizing the opportunity to call him a “toddler.” “Someone please notify ‘Child Protective Services’- need to do a ‘wellness check’ on this toddler,” he wrote.

Despite Musk's expletive-filled tweet, the user said, “I personally am the biggest fan of Elon on the planet and I always will be.” However, others were not so forgiving as one commentator said, “You have too much power to behave in Demon Mode with us. It’s terrifying. You can space laser us, or something. Yikes.”
