Quite the sh!t show breaking out between MAGA populists and Trump's DOGE crony billionaires. Anti-immigration MAGA cult members ain't taking kindly to Musk and Ramiswanny's desire for HI-B visa tech workers.
The tech industry claims there aren't enough skilled tech workers to meet needs in the US. So they're demanding that Trump allow more HI-B immigrants be allowed into the US, juxtaposed against Tump and MAGA's clamor for deporting immigrants (legal and illegal). Trump cut the number of HI-B visas during his first term, but now says he likes HI-B visas and has many of such workers employed at Mar a Lago. Trump loyalist Steve Bannon leveled a barrage of MAGA hate against HI-Bs and Elon Musk in his hate meets greed video. The drama is the best entertainment of the week.
Musk is the kind of billionaire Trump would like to be, so of course he's gonna' cater to Musk. And Musk, like Putin, learned that the admiration of an insecure chump like Trump can be had by flattering him. So Musk showered Trump with a $250 million campaign donation, and now Musk owns Trump. So far Musk got useful payback in Trump mandated legislation to drop self-driving auto accident reporting and restrictions on investing in China, where Musk has his largest Tesla factory and is breaking ground on the world's largest auto battery factory. Musk will likely make back his entire investment in Trump even before inauguration day.
Trump has already backpedaled his campaign promises to lower the cost of groceries and gas. It's gonna' be interesting to watch how MAGA reacts to being stabbed in the back by their cult leader Trump.
