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.
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.
