iirc Agent Orange was backed by several billionaires as well. And he wants the same Ivanishvili wants. A totalitarian state.
Who's going to sanction Trump and Musk then?

I am really so tired of those morons and the non-action of everybody else.

Also, talking about billionaires and the oil industry: i'm pretty sure they were also lobbying hard to prevent the EU from having a resolution to fight plastic pollution.

EU regrets inconclusive global plastics treaty

After two years of negotiations and a week of talks in South Korea, UN member states failed to reach an agreement. Talks will continue in 2025.

Trump now states he supports H1-B visas. Hint: He always did but demonized immigrants to get votes. How?

Racists who bought into anti-immigrant rhetoric got played. Centrists who demanded Harris "move to the center" on immigration lied.

This was always a winning issue they stupidly ceded to Trump.

As we contemplate a second Trump term with a mixture of dread and disbelief, an analogy comes to mind.

😂🤦🏻‍♀️ #Trump sides with Elon #Musk in H-1B visa debate, says he's always been in favor of the program - https://www.reuters.com/world/us/elon-musk-vows-war-over-h-1b-visa-program-amid-rift-with-some-trump-supporters-2024-12-28/
“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” President-elect Trump tells the New York Post, siding with Elon Musk in the online MAGA civil war over immigration. https://nypost.com/2024/12/28/us-news/donald-trump-backs-h-1b-visa-program-supported-by-elon-musk/
Exclusive | Trump supports immigration visas backed by Musk: 'I have many H-1B visas on my properties'

“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said referring to the H-1B program.

New York Post
It is likely on his properties, Trump primarily employs those with H-2B (not H-1B) visas. https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/temporary-workers/h-2b-temporary-non-agricultural-workers
