Elon Musk has said he will “go to war” with Maga Republicans over visas for skilled migrants.
The Tesla billionaire, chosen by Donald Trump to be co-head of his new Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has infuriated anti-immigration elements of the Republican Party by defending the H-1B visa, which permits highly educated foreigners to work in the US for up to six years.
Mr Musk responded to the backlash from the Make America Great Again (Maga) faction by vowing to kick out “hateful, unrepentant racists” from the Republican Party.
At least 14 conservative holders of accounts on Mr Musk’s social media platform X claimed that it had since revoked their blue verification badge, removing access to monetization through subscriptions and advertising revenue.
“Take a big step back and **** YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend,” Mr Musk wrote on X.

FU Musk, you sneaky johnny-come-lately. If Musk wants his Indians so bad maybe he should move there.
It didn’t take long for the legacy media to misrepresent and inflate the issue. They’ve changed the issue from H1B1 visa abuse to MAGA is racist and that’s the only reason they oppose visa reform.
Can’t kick me out of the party if I’m not in the party.
Here we go again. Another post of an article from a left-wing news source. I suppose we are going to see this cr@p posted all day long on this forum.
The biggest problem with H1-B visas is that they are not awarded by merit, but by lottery. This means we are not getting the brightest and the best. We get a few great employees through H1-Bs, but most are not.
And, the lefturds are all over it.
The whole H1B Visa program was gift of fraudulent proportions from George the Elder.
Of course, since then, it has been further bastardized, twisted, and ‘extended’ as political winds blow.
The solution? Dump it all together, Musk be damned. Put the emphasis on STEM education in the US, and let the companies who think they need H1B push their own training programs.
Settle down, Elon. Let’s not forget who the real enemy is.
Hint:It’s not other republicans!
Oh, and have you been taking all of your pills?
Just asking the question.
“We should greatly increase legal immigration of anyone who is hard-working, honest, and loves America.
Every such person is an asset to the country.
But massive illegal immigration of people we know nothing about is insane.”
This is what he said-
Parse it all carefully-
LEGAL immigration
Hard working
Honest
Loves America
These qualifiers would throw out 75% of the H1B Grifters.
And all of the others as well.
It’s MAGA - for all Americans.
” They’ve changed the issue from H1B1 visa abuse to MAGA is racist and that’s the only reason they oppose visa reform.”
Those were Musk’s words. The media only quoted him.
I don't see this tweet. Anybody have a link?
Saw various posters here and on Musk’s own X - make a minimum wage for H1B
want to import a “super productive” foreign tech engineer?
Make the minimum wage $750K, with a 5% increase for inflation every year.
will the job pay below that? NO - you don’t get to import foreign workers.
The Telegraph is Conservative and one of the oldest continuously published newspapers in the world, since 1855.
And it's quoting Musk directly...he keeps doubling down and digging his H-1B hole deeper. Trump probably should rein him in, if he disagrees, because this split is doing real damage today.
Billionaire businessman wants cheap labor. Who saw that coming?
Supposedly, Trump sent Elon Musk a message to come to Mar-a-Lago with New Year's coming up. A great occasion to redirect and we'll forget about this topic with the inauguration coming up soon.
He’s tweeted it before. I forget to whom.
Those were Musk’s words. The media only quoted him.
Yes and no. The media is the legacy media. The lying media. The mainstream media. The leftist media.
That source is ALWAYS misinterpreting and spinning things to make all things MAGA look bad. So I don't believe their spin. Nonetheless i went through Musk's and Adam's posts and found what this story was based on. You'll have to cut and paste the URL to get the image...couldn't make it work in HTML post here on FreeRepublic for some reason.

ONe thing to note is context...Scott Adams highlighted a post where a user basically said republicans are racist and democrats aren't. This post was by a liberal. So a liberal inserted the issue of race into the debate about immigration. Musk agreed on the basis that there is no room for racism.
That's it. That's all. It's just another example of the left doing what the left does...making a mountain out of molehill by throwing more and more dirt at it. I'm disappointed that Adams didn't see through this ploy by this Neera Tanden person.
