Elon Musk seems to be challenging a specific segment of MAGA.
Reflecting on this, it could be part of a broader "white hat" operation aimed at dismantling race consciousness entirely.
To achieve this, the first step was to expose and weaken far-left DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) race and gender movements, which appears to have been successful. With Trump's election secured, both he and Elon can shift focus without concern for political gains.
Now, they seem to be targeting the race-conscious wing of MAGA. The H1B visa controversy serves as a perfect catalyst for this. Unlike the typical black-versus-white debates, this effort feels more strategic, signaling a broader message:
Far-left race agitators will no longer be allowed to dominate. Far-right race-conscious movements won't gain ground either. Elon, widely viewed as a genius, publicly criticized the race-conscious H1B opposition, calling them “retards.” Importantly, he’s not attacking all H1B critics but specifically the race-conscious faction of MAGA, as indicated by his response to a tweet referencing anti-Indian sentiment.
The underlying message may be: race consciousness is foolish, while merit-based thinking reflects true intelligence. This could be an effort to reshape cultural attitudes toward race and meritocracy.
Thoughts?
I don't think so. If it were, there'd also be some big voices talking about Filipino and Jamaican nurses, 2 other big H1B populations representing other races used to replace local talent. If you wanted to flush out the racists, you'd be overlooking a big opportunity by only focusing on Indians.
Interesting theory, but doesn't make sense to me.
A variation on the idea might be that it's intended to corral the sheep into unity based on national lines (instead of racial lines) as it brings people together across the left-right spectrum. Everybody born here in this country, probably even the American-born Indian population, hates Indian call centers. When we foster agreement across the divide, we are building patriotism.
Q said we would be united; this seems like a step in that direction.
I see your points. But to do this... we would need to publically expose the race baiters on the right to.
It's an expose operation.
