Unelected policy influencers Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy want the U.S. to continue giving visas to skilled immigrants who are crucial to the Silicon Valley workforce, causing a rift with the anti-immigrant diehards in the Republican party.

The rift laid bare the tensions between wealthy members of the tech world – including Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers – and people in President-elect Trump’s MAGA base who championed his hard-line immigration policies.

It was, perhaps, only a matter of time before hostilities broke out in Trump World between the MAGA Internet Warriors and the Elon Musk Tech Bro Caucus. The cause? Immigration. There is populist outrage over immigration.
