Laura Loomer comes for ‘welfare queen’ Elon Musk as MAGA war heats up - Lemmy.World

Summary Laura Loomer criticized Elon Musk as a “welfare queen,” accusing him of profiting from billions in government subsidies while advocating for H-1B visas, which she claims take jobs from Americans. Loomer’s remarks highlight a rift within MAGA supporters over Musk’s influence and Trump’s alignment with him despite prior anti-immigration promises. Steve Bannon escalated the attack, demanding “reparations” for jobs lost to foreign workers hired by tech giants like Musk. Musk, whose companies received over $25 billion in subsidies and contracts, defended his stance on immigration and insulted American workers.

With as much as it’s happening and as little that comes of it, you ever think all these “in-fights” are just a big distraction or straight-up entertainment that the Republicans put on? Scripted, fake, like Professional Wrestling. The equivalent of turning on cartoons while the parents are “busy”.

The theatrics might be a bit too big of a conspiracy. I think its real. Two party system means big tent politics, most of which will be at odds.
