Summary

Laura Loomer criticized Elon Musk as a “welfare queen,” accusing him of profiting from billions in government subsidies while advocating for H-1B visas, which she claims take jobs from Americans.

Loomer’s remarks highlight a rift within MAGA supporters over Musk’s influence and Trump’s alignment with him despite prior anti-immigration promises.

Steve Bannon escalated the attack, demanding “reparations” for jobs lost to foreign workers hired by tech giants like Musk.

Musk, whose companies received over $25 billion in subsidies and contracts, defended his stance on immigration and insulted American workers.

    I was worried that the GOP might have their shit together enough to inflict damaging policies on the country, but this is easing some of those fears. What a bunch of f*ck-ups.

      Don’t get too comfortable. A few project2025 true believers in bureaucratic positions could make life a living hell while these shits play reality tv in the whitehouse.

        Yeah, Bush did jack shit while his minions ruined everything. The show may be better this time but that doesn’t mean it won’t be destructive. Still, we can hope.

        That’s what I keep saying. They won’t be able to implement half of that wing nut fan fic, but they’ll do plenty of damage in the attempt.

      This has no impact whatsoever. You don’t need to worry because we know for a fact that they intend to pillage the government to enrich themselves.
