Summary
Donald Trump publicly supported Elon Musk’s defense of the H-1B visa program for skilled foreign tech workers, despite opposition from some of his far-right supporters.
The debate was reignited after Trump appointed Indian-American AI expert Sriram Krishnan as an adviser, sparking criticism from immigration hard-liners.
Musk, a former H-1B holder, argued the program is essential for U.S. tech, while critics like Steve Bannon claim it undercuts American wages.
This stance marks a shift from Trump’s earlier policies limiting H-1B visas, highlighting tensions within his base over immigration policy.
I’m torn on this, I hate Bannon, but in the extreme right wing neo national socialism thinking he is consistent. And while he has power, it’s contained to some degree.
But I think I hate Musk even more, despite the fact he acknowledges that america can’t thrive alone. His basically unlimited power is a very big problem for the whole world.
Elon doesn’t give a shit about America. Elon only gives a shit about his money bin, and he wants to make sure he has more coins to swim in.
