Elon Musk appears to be winning, since Trump seemed to publicly back him over the benefits of the H-1B program. And as the owner of one of the world’s most influential social media platforms, who also has a direct line to president-elect’s ear, Musk is undoubtedly more powerful than the vast majority of Trump’s other MAGA backers.

The world’s richest man is begging users on his social media site to be a little nicer as the MAGA infighting over immigration continues.

Donald Trump has backed Elon Musk in supporting visas for skilled migrants. The president-elect waded into a row that has split the Republican party by defending H1B visas, which permit highly-educated foreigners to work in the US for up to six years.

Everyone had wondered if Trump was ever going to put down his golf clubs and say something. When he finally did it was in an interview with the NY Post in which he declared that he thinks the H-1B visas are just great and he uses them all the time at his properties.

Steve Bannon has joined the MAGA war between hard-line immigration opponents and tech executives like Elon Musk, taking the side of xenophobia on his War Room show Friday.

Less than a month before Donald Trump returns to office, two of his most ardent allies have plunged into a fierce online debate over immigration, specifically the government’s visa program that allows American companies to hire so-called “highly skilled” foreign workers.

Elon Musk, the billionaire CEO of Tesla TSLA.O and SpaceX, vowed to go to "war" to defend the H-1B visa program for foreign tech workers late on Friday amid a dispute between President-elect Donald Trump's longtime supporters and his most recently acquired backers from the tech industry.

Chris Sununu was asked on Sunday about concerns that Musk's financial dealings with the government might impact how he approaches his new role.
