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 can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head, but there’s a special term for conspiratorial thinking based on the belief that leaders really can’t be this incompetent and that the thought of a shadowy organization pulling the strings actually makes some people feel better.
Because reality is way fucking scarier.
These are the people running our country and they’re almost exclusively all idiots.
