MAGA Mad About Musk
This Week in Blunders – Dec. 22-28
“Who lies for you will lie against you.” - John Locke
Elon Musk is now in charge and he apparently doesn’t care what the MAGA minions think about immigration.
He’s an immigrant, he wants to recruit more immigrants on H1B visas to staff his technology companies, and he’s now the President Un-Elect as head of the unofficial Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE.
This week, some conservative groups complained that X has censored their posts criticizing Musk’s views on H1B visas. They also say the social media platform has even removed their verification badges, limiting their reach.
“If anyone thinks for one minute the REAL backbone of the right wing and MAGA is gonna stand idly by while these big tech gillionaire Silicon Valley dweebs who didn’t get bullied enough in high school, steal our country, they’re mistaken,” Preston Parra, head of ConservativeOG said in a text to CNBC.
Sorry, if Musk isn’t the man you voted for – or his DOGE sidekick, and Vice President Un-Elect Vivek Ramaswamy.
"Elon won't go home,” President Elect Donald Trump joked shortly after his victory in November. “I can't get rid of him.”
It’s not so funny now, is it?
