You Can't Threaten Our New President!!!

[Lucas McCain]

Salty, did you even bother to read the article? If you did, please point out where Democrats are even mentioned. See below in bold for the main points in the article so that we are on the same page because for some odd reason, you are posting about how Democrats, instead of MAGAs have a problem with Musk which is clearly NOT what Bannon was bitching about.

Musk said on X that the US needs to attract foreign talent to remain globally competitive. He strongly supports H-1B visas, which he said were crucial to building "SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong."

While Trump stood behind Musk, his stance has been criticized by MAGA supporters who say employers are using H-1B visas and other legal immigration methods to take jobs from Americans and drive down wages.

If I worked in town every day or somewhere else that had predictable driving patterns, I’d love to own one. That’s not because of any green nonsense, but because they’re cool AF.

I agree EVs are fun to drive, but I'll never buy one. I guess I just don't care about the environment enough to get rid of my gas guzzlers... I swear my Democrat friends love their damn EVs though. I drive their cars around on rare occasions and treat them like go karts. Haha

... Ye Christ! ... Lemme spell it out for you.
Most of the MAGAs don't have issue with Musk... Perhaps Mr. Bannon
feels that he's being left out. ... I'm not sure that most employers
are using the H-1B visa just to pay legal immigrants lower wages.
Just because Mr. Bannon sayes so doesn't make it true.

Hmmmm... I believe some employers are looking for top talent
for "high tech" jobs - and thus THAT may come from highly educated
people from India or Japan or Australia.

But Mr. Bannon is surely entitled to his-own opinion, just as
Mr. Musk is, also... And you and me and the MAGAs and President Trump.

Tesla produces 50% of the EVs sold in the US. Trump won Michigan in part by telling auto workers he would protect their jobs producing internal-combustion vehicles and reduce/eliminate the EV mandates & subsidies promoted by Democrats. How is that supposed to "make Musk more billions"? Musk supported Trump despite the fact that his policies will hurt Tesla.

So the argument that Musk is just in it for the money is nonsense. In many cases he is acting against his own self-interest by supporting Trump.

See how easy that was to actually read just some of the article which is why I was wondering why you were even mentioning Democrats and Musk?

Musk is correct about the lack of talent in quantitate highly educated talent domestically. Companies like his and many other tech focused companies have to go offshore to fill that talent demand and supply knowledge gap... as far as some MAGAs not understanding that, it's not like that is surprising and especially the genius ones who listen to a Bannon or to a Fucker Carlson as part of their daily routine.

Regardless, I am completely fine if Musk runs shit behind the scenes. Hell, he is a lot smarter than both Trump and Harris and probably no more incompetent for the job as both of them as well. Haha

I see that most maggies don't have a problem with a thugocracy.
Ol' Elon definitely is looking to advance his own interest at the goverment teat. But Hey! That ain't a problem with the righties...until they deem a libby doing it.
