MAGA v Musk: Trump camp divided in bitter fight over immigration policy
Feud flared up when president-elect chose Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-born entrepreneur, as his AI adviser
Summary
A rift has emerged within Donald Trump’s MAGA base over immigration, sparked by his appointment of Indian-born entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan as AI adviser.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy defended hiring high-skilled foreign workers, emphasizing the need for global talent in tech, while far-right figures like Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz criticized the move as anti-MAGA.
The debate reflects deeper divisions between Trump’s traditional anti-immigration stance and his recent openness to legal immigration for skilled graduates, signaling potential conflicts within his incoming administration.
You're viewing a single thread.
I don't fucking get it.
These are discussions that should be happening before there is a fucking election.
All these "freedom-loving" people who blindly vote for someone and give him carte blanche. That's not freedom.
shoot/vote first, ask/read on the issues later.
the majority of Americans (trump voters and those who didn't vote at all) seem to be a bit stupid.
They're fucking idiots. The best Trump could do before the election was to say he had 'concepts of a plan'. Any intelligent person would hear that and immediately full stop and say 'holy shit, this guy is clueless and without any plan whatsoever'
Of course to the MAGAt it means ' oh the plan must be so good he can't even tell us about it'
You thought the tax cheat that screws over his workers and well, everyone but himself, was going to work in your best interest? There's only one cure for MAGAts
That line of thinking would be valid if anyone was interested in policy. Trump is only interested in two things- 1) getting elected and 2) getting revenge. He used Musk to get elected and now they have different priorities. This happened in his first administration.
Trump is only interested in two things- 1) getting elected and 2) getting revenge.
1a) staying out of jail
You are correct
They voted for slogans not policy.
At least those who bothered to vote at all.
It's not complicated; you say whatever you need to get elected in politics. Once elected, only money and a distant second, reelection, matters.
In this battle we have money against stupid racists. Guess which one the administration will serve? They'll wrap it up by doubling down on MX wall height or something retarded; it will be the first of many shit sandwiches Trump will stuff down his voters throats to their unending surprise.
