Trump, who has remained silent thus far on the schism, faces a quickly deepening conflict between his richest and most powerful advisors on one hand, and the people who swept him to office on the other.

All this is stupid. But I know one thing:

Trump is a billionaire.

And I predict his followers are going to learn who he’ll side with when push comes to shove.

Also, Bannon’s take is interesting:

Bannon tells Axios he helped kick off the debate with a now-viral Gettr post earlier this month calling out a lack of support for the Black and Hispanic communities in Big Tech.

    This dust up over HB1 is my favorite Christmas present. Seeing Vivak and Elon elitesplain why immigrants are good to MAGA is never going to get old.

    We need to keep this issue in the cycle. Can we get Jefferies to declare that expanding HB1 is the Democrats top priority? Perhaps introduce legislation to loosen the restrictions on H1Bs.

      If we fix our higher education system, companies could hire citizens. Even then though, I think a lot of companies abuse the H1B system, because they can pay less. (You are supposed to have to make a case that no US worker could fill that job role.)

      Maybe it’s a prelude to a larger class war, when MAGA realizes they basically voted in a billionaretocracy, and wants it out.

      Is it possibly you guys are making too much of this? I’ve literally not heard one word about this topic outside Lemmy. I don’t think MAGA knows.

        It’s objectively getting a lot of engagement on Twitter, hence political outlets like Axios (who live in that world) are reporting on it.

        Social media is siloed. Honestly, if you aren’t seeing this in your other feeds, that’s probably a good thing.
