Elon Musk and MAGA supporters are currently at odds with one another over immigration and H-1B permits, according to several influential people on X, the software previously known as Twitter. After criticizing immigration policies and international workers, important MAGA celebrity Laura Loomer claimed that her account had been downgraded from premium to premium, removing her violet tick, and blocking monetization.
” I have also been prohibited from being able to obtain advanced. We are constantly told to get premium. However, if you criticize emigration, you may lose your subscription check and may not be able to purchase premium. Pure repression. MAGA has been silenced”, Loomer posted on X.
At least ten different MAGA celebrities echoed similar concerns, accusing Musk of repression. X has not yet responded in a formal way to the allegations.
Musk responded in what appeared to be his reply by tweeting that “any accounts discovered to be planning coordinated attacks to email specific accounts with mute/blocks may themselves be categorized as email.” Sit by the phishing, die by the spam”.
Immigration fires ‘ India vs MAGA ‘ Gap
The discussion began when Loomer criticized the nomination of Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-American, as Trump’s AI plan assistant. She focused Hindu refugees in a series of burning comments, labeling them” third-world invasions” and making disparaging comment about India.
Musk came to Krishnan’s protection and addressed the emigration conversation, tweeting,” The’ fixed pie ‘ fallacy is at the heart of many wrong-headed economic thinking. There is basically untapped potential for creating jobs and businesses. Think of all the stuff that didn’t exist 20 or 30 times ago”!
MAGA characters, including Loomer and former political candidate Nikki Haley, criticized Musk’s position. The conversation deepened with the presence of Trump supporter Vivek Ramaswamy, who defended H-1B permits, aligning with Musk’s pro-immigration view.
President-elect Donald Trump has yet to address the rifts among his followers over the contentious issue as hostilities mount.
