Summary

Laura Loomer criticized Elon Musk as a ā€œwelfare queen,ā€ accusing him of profiting from billions in government subsidies while advocating for H-1B visas, which she claims take jobs from Americans.

Loomerā€™s remarks highlight a rift within MAGA supporters over Muskā€™s influence and Trumpā€™s alignment with him despite prior anti-immigration promises.

Steve Bannon escalated the attack, demanding ā€œreparationsā€ 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.

    Donā€™t get too comfortable. A few project2025 true believers in bureaucratic positions could make life a living hell while these shits play reality tv in the whitehouse.

      Yeah, Bush did jack shit while his minions ruined everything. The show may be better this time but that doesnā€™t mean it wonā€™t be destructive. Still, we can hope.

      Thatā€™s what I keep saying. They wonā€™t be able to implement half of that wing nut fan fic, but theyā€™ll do plenty of damage in the attempt.
