Trump Just Shunned the MAGA "Massive Deportation Now" Base

President-elect Trump backed immigration visas for highly-skilled workers as the program has been in the spotlight after Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy faced backlash within the Republican leader’s base for signaling their support for the H-1B work visa, which has been criticized as too complicated and susceptible to abuse.

“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said in a phone interview with The New York Post published Saturday.

“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” he added, as reported by the Post.

I would have liked Trump to have shouted out a "F.U." to Laura Loomer, but at least it is a start.

The dispute further escalated late Friday night after Musk pledged to “go to war” over the issue in a post on X.

“The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B,” he wrote in the post.

“I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend,” he added.

It's too bad the H1-B Visa didn't exist in the 1920s.

Maybe we could have given it to Isoroku Yamamoto when he attended Harvard.

@beckyromero No. He was the wrong colour..😷
I doubt that Musk ever held an H-1B visa. He came in on a student visa, like maybe J-1, then got a green card.

@ElwoodBlues there’s special visas for people who invest money .
@AthrillatheHunt This just in Musk's AI says he did NOT have an H-1B visa.
Musk’s AI, Grok, even waded into the argument against its creator, after someone checked whether Musk was an H-1B immigrant.

“No, Elon Musk was not an H-1B visa worker. He is a South African-born Canadian-American entrepreneur who moved to the United States on an F-1 visa for education and later became a U.S. citizen,” Grok stated.

You’re conflating many separate issues into one. Legal immigration / illegal immigration / visa guest workers . These are 3 separate issues w 3 separate stances by Orange .
Why do you lump them all together ? Nah, I know why : Orange man bad.

I actually agree with Elon Musk on this. I previously said so:

What don't you understand about that? And why in hell do you think THIS post is a criticism of Trump's New York Post comments?

One would have thought the "I would have liked Trump to have shouted out a "F.U." to Laura Loomer, but at least it is a start" would have clued you in.
