Meme attacking Musk for his "face-fucking" immigration preferences (made by Grok)
It's over! In fact, it's never been more over than it is now. The alliance that won the 2024 Presidential election and put a rapidly-aging ADHD Boomer in the White House is splitting right down the middle, with the globalist tech bros who financed Trump on the one side and the kneejerk nationalists of MAGA who voted for Trump on the other.
The shit hit the fan following tweets and comments by Indian pharmaceutical scamster Vivek Ramaswamy, whom Trump has idiotically put in charge of the impressively-named "Department of Government Efficiency" quango. Ramaswamy criticised American culture and said that it had the wrong archetypes.
He tweeted:
“Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long — at least since the Nineties, and likely longer. That doesn’t start in college, it starts young,” and “A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.”
"More math tutoring, fewer sleepovers. More weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons. More books, less TV. More creating, less ‘chillin’. More extracurriculars, less ‘hanging out at the mall’."
MAGA World, now led by fellow Indian Nikki Haley, immediately saw through Ramaswamy's "cultural critique" and realised that he was just basically dog-whistling for a push towards mass immigration.
Haley tweeted:
"There is nothing wrong with American workers or American culture,” she wrote on X. “All you have to do is look at the border and see how many want what we have. We should be investing and prioritising in Americans, not foreign workers."
Things got really out of hand, however, when Musk chimed in, more or less stating (as far as MAGA was concerned) that all American workers must immediately be replaced by much cheaper and more docile Indian workers:
"The number of people who are super-talented engineers and super motivated in the USA is far too low," Musk said. "If you want your team to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent, wherever they may be."
Musk doubled down on his evident hatred for American workers when he agreed with an account on Twitter that expressed the view that tech bros think American workers are too mentally impaired to be trained.
He then told critics of unlimited H1B visas to fuck themselves in the face:
"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," Musk wrote, adding, “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 possibly comprehend."
This went viral and was even turned into a rather catchy rap song:
Musk's apparent anti-Americanism led to a strong response from MAGA diehard and former Trump campaign director Steve Bannon.
Speaking on his podcast, The War Room, Bannon said:
Speaking on his podcast, The War Room, Bannon said:
"This whole thing about 'oh, they’re only geniuses.' H-1B Visas, that’s NOT what it’s about. It’s about taking American jobs and bringing over essentially what have become indentured servants at lower wages. The thing’s a SCAM by the Oligarchs in Silicon Valley to basically take jobs from American citizens give them to what [have] become indentured servants from foreign countries, and pay them less. SIMPLE."
Bannon also responded to Musk's "face fuck" tweet with a degree of dismissive contempt, posting on Gettr:
"Someone please notify ‘Child Protective Services’- need to do a ‘wellness check’ on this toddler."
Trump meanwhile is keeping back from the fray, making only a few sympathetic noises towards H1B visas.
The assumption here is that he will side with Musk if things calm down but will back away and let him be consumed by the MAGA mob if things stay heated.

Meanwhile Musk is trying to use his "ban hammer" by shutting down critics on the MAGA right and beyond on Twitter. So far Laura Loomer and dozens of Groyper accounts have been nuked. Musk is also trying to push the rumour that the controversy has been stoked by bots, without specifying who the bots were working for.
