The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.
Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot…

“I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend,” Musk continued after the cutoff, crushing this puny ant under his boot. It would seem that maybe, just maybe, this whole shitshow is escalating considerably given the, uh, unique personality at its center.
Yes, Musk has a mixed record on following through on certain ambitions. On one end there’s that whole sending 50,000 people to live the rest of their – likely brutish and short – lives on Mars thing that hasn’t exactly materialized yet. And that ultra-high speed subway train that can transport people from San Francisco to Los Angeles in 15 minutes or whatever. But on the other the Cybertruck is now finally on the road and a status symbol for complete chodes after years of delays.
And, most relevant here, he was nothing but persistent on acquiring Twitter and turning it into a complete abyss of right wing propaganda and hate speech. Musk really put his head down and spent a lot of his and other people’s money to bring that goal to fruition, now ruling it as absolute overlord of his own personal digital failed state, even changing the name and the freaking URL like it’s Zaire or Myanmar. Hell if you were a drug-addled megalomaniac and the richest man in history you too would have fun conducting Stalinist purges on a whim, tormenting Trotskyites like Laura Loomer simply because you can. It’s like SimCity or Minecraft for him, except the people are real.
America rose to greatness over the past 150 years, because it was a meritocracy more than anywhere else on Earth.
I will fight to my last drop of blood to ensure that it remains that land of freedom and opportunity.

All of which is to say that yeah, Musk probably isn’t going to let this go in the near or middle term when it comes to going to “war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend,” at least specific to shitposting back and forth with and smiting the MAGA scumbags.
That’s about the only safe bet right now. What actually happens when the rubber meets the road in the 119th Congress and then the second Trump Reich are a complete and utter void.

It would take forever to go through every sitting/incoming Republican in Congress’s tweets to find them weighing in on this, but seriously, it really appears that Sporkfoot and Sporkfoot alone is the only one to speak up so far, with a dozen other senators and House members checked either radio silent after Christmas or avoiding the subject entirely, preferring to focus on The Hill printing an op-ed from some leftist assclowns who think Dems can block Trump’s win from being certified on January 6th. Maybe unsurprisingly she sided with Musk. Certainly doesn’t hurt that she and Laura Loomer fucking hate each other, but it also tracks with Greene’s previous mutually parasitic embrace of Kevin McCarthy during his failed speakership. Sometimes she just sells the MAGA base out.
Sunday morning’s shows will likely give us a slightly larger glimpse into the coming tribulations for Congressional Republicans. There’s no way they don’t get asked where they stand on expanding the availability of H1-Bs and it may take some pretty creative weaseling to avoid answering one way or another. Then they’re all going to be back at the Capitol on Friday and again on Monday where they can be cornered by reporters in the hallways. If anything a shit ton of drama over the speakership and certifying the election might actually be a relief. Maybe Musk gets bored of watching.
Or maybe not.
Those who oppose reform will lose their primary/election. Period.

Recruiting and funding Republican primary challengers isn’t imprisoning 50,000 people on Mars. It’s not hard, especially when you have $400 billion to piss away. Marjorie Taylor Greene has a “brand” and will get away with licking Ketamine Brain’s toes. Can Congressmen David Rouzer or Jay Obernolte or Marlin Stutzman answer the MAGA base on why they voted to import more brown people to work jthe jobs Americans are entitled to? Can they weather a $15 million primary challenge from a 27 year-old Tesla sales associate armed with “Grok”-generated pics of Stutzman, Obernolte, and Rouzer having a cocaine party on a private jet filled with JonBenet Ramsey lookalikes?
We’re more likely than not to get an answer in the coming months. That on Saturday Germany’s Welt am Sonntag newspaper printed an op-ed credited to Musk in which he urged readers to vote for the Fourth Reich AfD party in February’s snap election probably does not bode well for the GOP.
Far less clear is what happens with Trump and Musk. Not even ago when the fat fuck told the crowd at some MAGA event that Elon Musk can’t be president because he wasn’t born here – laughing nervously too – as if everyone mockingly calling him “President Musk” didn’t already understand that important and immutable constitutional requirement. That was as close as he came to addressing all the mockery over letting Musk make him look like an impotent beta and not the immutable force of political nature all of his ball-sucking cultists and the mainstream media say he is.
Trump has so far stayed completely silent on the current MAGA tech bros vs MAGA white nationalist shitshow – though the inscrutable post he made Friday that CNN believes was intended to be a private message to Musk urging him to come hang out at Mar-a-Lago with Bill Gates. Predicting he’s going to continue to stay out of it is like predicting when and where the San Andreas Fault is going to rupture. We simply don’t know, even though the aseismic tension is undeniably building.
The official page of @TheDemocrats tweeted this today.
They are now calling Elon Musk “President Musk” because they believe that Elon Musk is now more powerful than President Trump.
They think Trump is Elon’s “puppet”.
That’s what the Dems are now organizing around. pic.twitter.com/8G4IYVormc

Quite a few observers saw last week’s funding bill shitshow as portending an eventual falling out and between Musk and Trump. If anything would do that, it’d be the fat fuck’s insecurities exploding over Ketamine Brain again making it look like he’s dogwalking Trump and Republicans on an H1-B expansion bill. Hell, that’s more likely than Trump actually opposing it for any “America First” reason.
And that probably also explains why Trump’s staying out of the current online MAGA civil war and (possibly) inviting Musk and Bill Gates to ring in the new year and his new reich: He doesn’t give a shit about his voters. They served their purpose, kept him out of prison for another four years, and now they can be cast aside for Trump’s personal enrichment. As long as Donald doesn’t suffer any further injuries to his ego, if that means more Indian software engineers coming to the US then it means more Indian software engineers are going to be coming to fill jobs in the United States.
Fuck yourself in the face if you don’t like it, MAGAmerica.
UPDATE 12/28/2024 3:19 PM EDT: Yup, fuck yourselves in the face.
Now Trump has officially given his statement. The boss has spoken. If you have issues with this topic, it’s now with Trump.
