Summary

Donald Trump faced backlash from his MAGA base after siding with Elon Musk’s defense of immigration visas, like H1Bs, used by businesses to hire foreign talent.

Many Trump supporters criticized this stance as contradictory to his “America First” promises, arguing H1Bs harm American workers by displacing them with cheaper labor.

Trump released his position through a conservative outlet, avoiding direct posts on the issue, but his Truth Social account was flooded with complaints from long-time supporters.

The controversy highlights growing divisions within the MAGA movement over immigration and corporate priorities.

    look, all im gonna say. For all my fellow techies out there, anybody with an internet connection, and significant computing resources.

    Now would be a VERY funny time to spin up a lot of “concern trolling” bots.

    Putins playbook is very clear, cause confusion and disarray, therefore, nobody trusts anything, and you can do whatever you want. Who says we can’t engage in a bit of foul play on the republican side as well?

      Their strategy is to flood the zone with shit. Adding our shit doesn’t solve the problem. They’re already paranoid nitwits who have no interest in the truth.

      The only countermeasure that would work would be to eliminate the bots, the troll farms and the social media outlets that make no effort to stop the contagion.
