Was this a mask off moment for Elon? Is he truly a White Hat, or is he a Trojan Horse infiltrating the movement, or is he just a useful tool for the White Hats to use? I personally don't trust him as an individual, but I still believe that he can be a strategic chess piece in the process.

Why is he engaging with concern troll posts and insinuating that a large percentage of MAGA are contemptible racists that need to be rooted out from the party? The way he has handled this whole debacle has raised a lot of red flags on him for me as an individual.

Clott Adams parrots a post of a dem operative pretending to be outraged by the H-1B debate

Scott: "MAGA is taking a page from Democrats on how to lose elections while feeling good about themselves".

• The post he is referencing is by Neera Tanden who claims the H-1B debate is an example of why being a Democrat is the only choice for her and Indian Americans.
• Even Jack Poso responds pointing out her questionable background: "Neera Tanden works for Soros and Podesta"

How does Elon respond to this double whammy of a concern troll post? With agreement and more threats:

• "Yes. And those contemptible fools must be removed from the Republican Party, root and stem."
• "The "contemptible fools" I'm referring to are those in the Republican Party who are hateful, unrepentant racists. They will absolutely be the downfall of the Republican Party if they are not removed."

This on the back of Musk also vowing to go to war on the H-1B issue the likes of which we cannot possibly comprehend.

My big problem with all of this, is who is defining what qualifies you as being an "unrepentant racist"?

• I have observed the discourse closely over the past five days and the vast majority of people raising their concerns just don't want to be displaced and have their culture subverted.
• This is where they will hit you with the good ol', "America is a nation of immigrants" line.
• Statements like this are used to shut down discussion and also ignore all context and nuance on the matter.
• Never before in our nation's history has our country been flooded from all angles on such a level. There must be a mass halting followed by major reformations, and that is why this debate has been so important.

Another question I have is why does Elon interact with Ian Mile Cheong so much?

• I have noticed him both reposting and responding to him quite a bit recently.
• For those that aren't aware of who Ian Miles Cheong is, here is a small glimpse into his shaky history: https://x.com/CensoredMen/status/1755680100060651670
• An example of their recent interactions: https://x.com/stillgray/status/1872798065142485214

Ian: Some of these subtards are going to be incredibly disappointed to find out you're not a racist like they are.

Elon: The point was not to replace DEI, which is one form of racism/sexism, with a different form of racism/sexism, but rather to be a meritocratic society!

Even here I find Elon's statement to be wild and misleading. Likening the current discourse as another form of DEI is both extremely disrespectful and intellectually dishonest.

• The vast majority of the MAGA movement arguing against H-1B's are not against meritocracy.
• They just don't want American jobs to be displaced by corrupt systems that allow them to hire cheap labor under the guise of "muh top .1%" when in reality these programs in large are not recruiting the best and the brightest.
• Even the records show that the H-1B hires at Elon's companies are mostly entry level positions receiving less pay.
• Here is a great thread analyzing the past 5 years of H-1B data and how problematic it truly is: https://x.com/RobertMSterling/status/1873174358535110953
