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
My wife is an English immigrant and she became a citizen. She knows more about the history of the US and of the Constitution than any born-and-bred American that I know.
I would rather have America populated with people who appreciate living under the Constitution because they learned what it means than to have the country filled with a bunch of people willing to sacrifice the future of this country for trinkets today.
I don't care where somebody was born, what religion they are, what language they were taught as a child, or what shade of brown their skin is as long as they know what America used to be and what it can be again. That really is the point of America to begin with.
For all the invaders coming here for free stuff, for all the people here who hate American citizens and the American way of life and those who oppose the Republican form of government, those refusing to speak English, those who bash Christianity and family values. Fuck those people. Whether they are foreigners or if they were born here. Being a natural born citizen means nothing when it comes to people who want to see America destroyed or are just plain dumb enough to allow it to be destroyed because a celebrity told them it was the right thing to do.
Naturalized citizens who appeared on videos leading up to the election who proudly supported Trump were seen as a novelty. As a rarity. But that's not true. People who fled communist nations and dictatorships know what America can become if the people who were born here stop fighting. They are not novelties. They carry the spirt that the fathers of this country had.
We need to keep the foreigners who know the Constitution and deport every natural born American who voted for Kamala Harris.
Neither pro-American nor anti-American is determined by where in the world somebody was born.
