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.
I think there’s no way Musk isn’t a racist, he just kinda hides it from public view. He thinks he can shame others to do what he wants by calling them racist (remember when he calls people pedos?), but that won’t work. Certain ideologies literally have no shame.
Musk is definitely racist, and his support for H1B is a feature of that racism. He thinks “those orientals and Indians” are good at tech and “hardcore.” H1B lets him bring them over, treat them like slaves, and send them back home if they get uppity.
MAGAs would feel the same about immigrants in agriculture and hospitality, if they thought there was a reliable way to send them back home at the end of the workday.
Whoa whoa whoa. The apartheid trust fund baby racist?! Like you didn’t steal and hock daddy’s emeralds to get your start like everyone else did.
And yes that’s literally how Elon got started in the us. He’d be lucky to be flipping burgers if he wasn’t born with wealth and privilege.
