When elite billionaires go off on Trump's base and effectively call them a bunch of non-skilled, racist dopes, guess whose side Trump is on?
My new hobby is watching loyal Donald Trump supporters get thrown under the bus by President-elect Donald Trump. It’s exhilarating.
The most recent example came when the anti-immigrant MAGA base got in an online derp-brawl with big-tech Trump supporters like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy over the issue of H-1B visas. Those visas allow highly skilled foreign workers to stay in the United States for up to six years under H-1B nonimmigrant status.
Big Tech companies rely on those visas, while Big Racism people on the internet claim the visas are another example of foreign workers taking jobs from the “forgotten” men and women of America who Trump promised to protect.
(Spoiler alert: Trump sided with Musk and the tech bros this weekend because they gave him lots of money and money is all he actually cares about. Sorry, xenophobes!)
Trump sells out supporters to back Elon Musk on H-1B visas
Here’s how the whole unbelievably stupid thing unfolded.
About a week ago, Trump named venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan as an advisor on artificial intelligence. Because Krishnan had previously voiced support for expanding the H-1B visa program, hardcore anti-immigration loudmouths like Laura Loomer – one of the most loyal Trump loyalists – and Steve Bannon got mad and outraged. That’s kind of their thing.
Bannon said the H-1B program is a threat to Western civilization, which makes sense if your soul is so filled with hate it has choked off oxygen to your brain.
Opinion:2024 was a bad year for basic decency in America. You can thank Trump for that.
The madness and outrage swiftly descended into racist attacks against Krishnan’s Indian heritage, prompting Musk and Ramaswamy to get big-mad and offer forceful defenses of the foreign-worker program.
