Musk threatens ‘war like you’ve never seen’ with MAGA Republicans

Elon Musk has ignited a feud with MAGA Republicans over his support for the H-1B visa program, which allows highly skilled foreign workers to stay in the U.S. for up to six years. Chosen by Donald Trump as co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has faced criticism from anti-immigration factions within the Republican Party.

Musk vows to remove ‘racists’ from republican ranks

Responding to the backlash, Musk pledged to oust “hateful, unrepentant racists” from the party and vowed unprecedented action, stating, “I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”

Conservative influencers accuse Musk of censorship

Several conservative accounts reported losing verification status on X, formerly Twitter, after criticizing H-1B visas. Influencer Preston Parra called Musk a “Trojan horse” in the MAGA movement, alleging censorship of anti-immigration voices.

Vivek Ramaswamy, co-leader of DOGE, stirred further controversy by claiming American culture prioritizes popularity over intelligence, leading to reliance on foreign talent for critical roles.

Musk’s stance sparks division in MAGA coalition

The conflict highlights tensions within Trump’s Maga coalition, which unites anti-immigration advocates with tech entrepreneurs favoring skilled migration. Musk credited the H-1B program for enabling innovation at companies like SpaceX and Tesla.
