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.

    Kind of a couple months too late to suddenly realize the person you gave the keys to the kingdom to is not on your side.

    It almost feels like theatre, as if they knew he is not on their side but they kept their mouth shut cause winning was more important.

    Edit:

    “I don’t think that it’s acceptable for billionaires to have this much power and this much access,” she emphasized.

    Yep, it’s theatre, cause nothing is stopping them from limiting billionaires through wealth cap or tax.

      She says as she wipes her lips, leaving Trump’s plane. Does she dispute Trump’s billionaire status now?
