Elon Musk Goes To War With Trump’s Base

This all stated when Musk posted on X, “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. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”

Trump’s whisper Laura Loomer came after Musk and that started a brawl.

Ann Coulter jumped in with:

This fight went on for days and culminated with Musk calling MAGA the r-word and shadowing banning conservatives who criticized him on immigration while also banning their access to X Premium and taking away the blue check marks that these people paid for.

MAGA was told that their hero, Donald Trump, wanted to deport immigrants by the millions, so they assumed that the president-elect would side with them against Musk, who bought his way to Trump’s side.

MAGA was wrong.

Trump defended the visas by saying, “I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them. I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program.”

Anyone who has paid attention to Trump’s actions knows that he loves anything that screws over and exploits workers.

Of course, Trump and Musk agree regarding this.

The interesting twist is that Trump's defense of Musk did not stop his most loyal supporters from raging. In fact, the matter has escalated to the point of Trump instituting a social media ban that requires all of his cabinet nominees to get prior approval before posting. The incoming administration says that the ban is related to Senate confirmation hearings, but it can’t be a coincidence that Trump put the ban in place as MAGA is tearing itself apart.
