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.

    Does it matter who is mad, or who doesnā€™t approve of what President musk and secretary trump are doing? They have the power, and they will do whatever they damn well please. No amount of ā€œinfightingā€ will slow them down. It will take a massive exertion of force and pressure from the outside, from the masses, to make them stop.

      It does matter whoā€™s fighting who. All the time they put into arguing with each other is time they donā€™t spend agreeing and making bullshit policy.

      It matters because they have been programmed to listen to those people, and ignore the rest. Itā€™s an echo chamber in there and so when someone inside that chamber goes off it gives all the idiots inside a big dose of reality. Will it stick? Will it last long? Doubt it. But for a brief and wonderful moment, some of those fools are forced to use their brains, even for just an instant.
