I think the thread poster went out of his way to be transparent. Great thread to which I previously posted a link and all his conclusions can be replicated & supported. IMO his thread perfectly encapsulates the issues.
I am glad this controversy emerged. Rather than being a minor issue I think it is fundamental. It discriminates between people who are truly Americ first and people who walk the MAGA path until there is profit by taking a very non-Maga divergence.
No need for venom but an airing of this issue will make it more likely that an eventual solution will benefit Americans. We must be ready to hold Congress to account. Forewarned is forearmed.
The ways Vivek & Elon reacted tells me a lot about them.
Elon is a complex human being with good instincts but some unexamined positions. When challenged he is aggressive but he thinks about the issues and recalibrates. I still believe he will make choices to benefit Americans and America.
IMO Vivek’s motivations were exposed by this controversy. His MAGA commitment is secondary to his profit motive and his desire to promote Indians in America. He can be an asset in a defined role but I would hate to see him in a position where he wields sole power.
But like everyone they have limitations. Vivek should think more about what truly makes American culture successful. There is a reason that the USA has lead the world in innovation for many years.
