I was unable to find that on Elon’s page as of an hour ago. I think I saw more than one version of screen grab, tho.

This is pretty hilarious. Elon has just now realized that MAGA includes a ton of racists that will NOT make exceptions that help his businesses. I actually agree with him that we want skilled immigrants and racism is bad, but the way he's just now arguing for this is very clueless and shows he really didn't understand the allies he courted and bought his way into. It's kind of like all the people who didn't realize Project 2025 was what conservative republicans actually stood for, not "freedom."

Consider an alternate interpretation. Trump is pushing appointments sans Congressional consent, not to have specific people appointed, but to prove that he can in a first step toward forming the Imperial States Reich. Perhaps Musk is knowingly testing his influence as the power behind the throne.

He must know that Trump doesn’t give a rats ass about his constituents or their issues or their desires. So he has a free hand in the regime. And there’s a shiny new Colonel’s uniform for him if he can successfully put them back in their place as subservient worker bees while protecting Trumps flawless deific image.

Musk doesn't actually think racism is bad though, he's actually super racist himself. See what Innula quoted earlier, it's very true. Whining about hateful racists is extremely cynical on his part, lol.

But yeah, he had every reason to expect that exceptions to the rules would be made for him and his company because that's how MAGA elites generally roll, and I'd bet he's pretty shocked to find out that there's some others in the "club" that don't seem willing to back him on that.

of course, I meant to say Musk's RECENT statements about racism being bad were things I agree with, though I agree he is being self serving.

Maybe..... but I think you're giving them a little too much credit. I don't think Musk planned his current role in the hot seat. I think he made some big miscalculations.

Does Elon not realize that the only and entire platform of the Republican party is racism?

He knew, it's why he's there. I think it just never occured to him when he made his heel turn that H1B visas were on the chopping block because he's a ditz whose supposed galaxy-brain has been highly exaggerated.
