Laura Loomer Goes OFF on Elon Musk Advising Trump — Calls Out His ‘Off the Books’ Meetings With Iranian and Chinese Officials
www.mediaite.com
Laura Loomer has entered the fray in the MAGA Civil War that has pitted Trump's most loyal and nationalist following against Elon Musk.

Summary

Laura Loomer criticized Elon Musk’s influence on Trump during an appearance on Steve Bannon’s War Room, accusing Musk and other tech leaders of being “welfare queens” reliant on government subsidies while seeking control over national defense.

Loomer also alleged Musk held secret meetings with Iranian and Chinese officials, raising national security concerns.

Her remarks align with growing criticism from MAGA loyalists, including Bannon, who warn of Musk’s outsized role during Trump’s transition.

    Has anyone pointed out to them lately that Musk was also an illegal immigrant?

    [Musk] has said in the past that after leaving Penn he had planned to pursue graduate studies at Stanford, but dropped out to work on founding his first company.

    That’s significant, experts say, because there are strict rules about the kind of work allowed when someone is in the US on a student visa, and work authorizations tied to student visas generally require someone to be actively studying or for the sponsoring institution to allow the student to get academic or practical training after graduation.

    Immigration attorney Greg Siskind, who’s co-authored multiple editions of a guide to J-1 visas, says transitioning from a J-1 visa to an H-1B visa is a possible path. But he says a J-1 visa wouldn’t provide work authorization to someone who dropped out of a degree program. The moment Musk dropped out, he would have lost his status and been unauthorized to work, Siskind says.

    Edit to add link (again).

      Dude, he’s rich. If one thing is true about American society, it’s that if you’re rich the law doesn’t apply to you.

          I read one post saying he didn’t, and lies that he has a degree, then read one that claimed something else. Just to clear things up

      Those on the left have a tendency to give up messaging too early. But this needs to be repeated and raised in every possible forum, until it requires an answer of some kind.

      It may be too late, and heck, Elon may just pick up the phone as soon as it gets too much traction and get a quick pardon for the illegal immigration status and (we assume) lying on his citizenship application. But this guy deserves to have to answer for it with everything he’s doing, and we deserve an answer.
