  • Two key parts of Donald Trump's base have been at odds with each other over the merits of immigration prioritizing high-skill workers.

The article discusses the escalating feud between Elon Musk and MAGA loyalists, particularly over the H-1B visa program. Elon Musk, who has previously supported immigration reform, has criticized the H-1B visa system, calling it a "national disgrace" due to its lottery-based selection process which he believes does not ensure the hiring of the most skilled workers. This stance has put him at odds with some Trump supporters and MAGA loyalists who view his comments as an attack on American workers. In response, Donald Trump has not directly addressed Musk's visa comments but has instead focused on his broader political narrative, emphasizing his commitment to America First policies and criticizing what he perceives as globalist agendas. This situation highlights the tension between economic policies promoting skilled immigration and the protectionist sentiments within the MAGA base.
