For those of us who mighty have missed it since we don't visit twitter anymore, there is a MAGA vs tech bro war going on over there today.
What was Vivek Ramaswamy thinking when he decided to trash "American (MAGA) culture" in this long tweet and stir this hornet's nest?

Then there is Laura Loomer who wants to claim the mantle of MAGA'ism for herself by taking the battle to Elon Musk and his tech bros.
We say, please proceed.
Hopefully, this drives some wedges among the MAGA crowd and opens up the eyes of some republicans who voted for this monstrosity.

Musk and Loomer may have a lot in common, but Musk has something Loomer doesn't - money and control of twitter.
Wanna bet trump and his tech bros will somehow buy Loomer's silence? Perhaps, an ambassadorship to some remote island nation?

What a day! A MAGA leader telling the truth about DOGE.
This feud has legs. It will likely escalate given the bloated egos, thin skins and the viciousness in trump world.

A MAGA ‘Civil War’ on X between Musk and the far right over H-1B visas
"The online rift over the H-1B skilled-worker visa program signifies a potential wedge between Trump’s core base and his new Silicon Valley supporters."
IMHO, racism and resentment also plays major roles in this feud.

@AkaSci Probably because Elon wouldn't qualify for such a visa. @PamelaBarroway
