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.
With First Lady Trump making the decision for President Musk, it’ll be whoever talks to Trump last. Given Musk effectively moved into Trump’s bedroom, my money is on Musk getting his way after giving Donald a quick rusty trombone.
There’s a great odd couple comedy sitcom there for the taking. Trump and Musk bring roommates in the Oval Office.
