<a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/maga/" id="auto-tag_maga" data-tag="maga" >MAGA</a> world is fighting, and it’s getting ugly. As <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/donald-trump/" id="auto-tag_donald-trump" data-tag="donald-trump" >Donald Trump</a> supporters raged at <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/elon-musk/" id="auto-tag_elon-musk" data-tag="elon-musk" >Elon Musk</a> for arguing that <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/big-tech/" id="auto-tag_big-tech" data-tag="big-tech" >Big Tech</a> needs to bring in foreign workers, Musk’s X platform apparently removed Trump ally <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/laura-loomer/" id="auto-tag_laura-loomer" data-tag="laura-loomer" >Laura Loomer</a>’s blue checkmark and deactivated her subscriptions. <br> Musk and <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/t/vivek-ramaswamy/" id="auto-tag_vivek-ramaswamy" data-tag="vivek-ramaswamy" >Vivek Ramaswamy</a>, who are set to jointly lead President-elect Donald Trump’s new Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/elon-musk-vivek-trump-foreign-workers-visas-1235218541/" >have both infuriated conservatives</a> in recent days by asserting that Silicon Valley businesses rely on foreign workers because there aren’t enough Americans to do the jobs. Musk wrote on X that there aren’t enough “super motivated” and “super talented engineers” in the United States, while Ramaswamy argued it’s because America’s culture valorizes “hard work over laziness.”<br> While Musk and Ramaswamy have routinely demonized migrants trying to cross the U.S. border, they both apparently support the H-1B visa program, which companies use to bring in high-skilled foreign workers. Among both the left and right, these visas are viewed as allowing companies to import cheaper, exploitable workers who must keep their jobs if they want to stay in the country. <div class="admz" id="adm-inline-article-ad-1"> <div class="adma boomerang" data-device="Desktop" data-width="300"> <div style="min-width:50px;min-height:75px;" class="pmc-adm-boomerang-pub-div ad-text" data-priority="10" > <div id="gpt-dsk-tab-article-inbody-uid0" class="adw-300 adh-250" data-is-adhesion-ad=""> <script type="application/javascript">
