MAGA hardliners on Monday intensified their feud with Elon Musk over immigration policy, despite the Tesla mogul’s conciliatory gesture over the weekend. The harsh words against Mr. Musk deepened the disagreement between two factions of fervent Trump supporters over whether the looming crackdown on immigration should apply to high-skilled tech workers.
Mr. Musk and his co-commissioner for the Department of Government Efficiency, Vivek Ramaswamy, kicked off the controversy on Christmas Day, when the latter described American culture itself as unproductive and distracting from economic success — and expressed support for the H-1B visa for skilled technology workers, most of whom come from India and China.
