MAGA in Total Mayhem as Laura Loomer Goes to War With Elon Musk

Right-wing influencer and Donald Trump gadfly Laura Loomer is attacking Elon Musk, seemingly over his desire for more immigrants to work and study in science and technology fields in the United States. In several posts on X Thursday, Loomer railed against Musk and his influence on Trump. She attacked Musks Department of Government Efficiency project with Vivek Ramaswamy, calling it a vanity project on Wednesday before accusing it as a smokescreen for the pet projects of tech bro billionaires on Thursday. She also claimed that there would be a falling out between Musk and Trump soon.
In response, Musk accused Loomer of being a troll and said she should be ignored. Loomer continued her attacks unabated, calling the tech CEO a pawn of China, resorting to homophobic and racist insults, and accusing Musk of having bought his way into MAGA. Remember when you voted for Biden and propped up @GovRonDeSantis and you said Trump was too old? We all know you only donated your money so you could influence immigration policy and protect your buddy Xi JinPing, Loomer wrote in one post, and in a follow-up, she called Musk a total f****ing drag on the Trump transition.
Hes a stage 5 clinger who over stayed his welcome at Mar a Lago in an effort to become Trumps side piece and be the point man for all of his accomplices in big Tech to slither in to Mar a Lago, Loomer posted. Loomer, renowned for her Islamophobia, racism, and conspiracy theories, appears to be opposing Musk for those very reasons, as her virulent racism drives her anti-immigration views. Her attacks on Musk are flavored with that racism, from her invoking of China to repeated attacks on people from India.
On a related note, Musks DOGE sidekick, Vivek Ramaswamy, also got piled on Thursday by MAGA for his own immigration views after making the glaring mistake of claiming there were shortcomings in American culture, fueling racist attacks from the far right. It seems that Musk and Ramaswamy are already wearing out their welcome in Trumpworld, and soon might anger the big guy himself.

Musk and minions will make her a few million offers and she will willingly give all.
Its all about the tcoins in the end. All transactional. They dont hold a conviction worth a damn.

(14,651 posts)I'm surprised that Loomer spotted this, but not surprised that she did within the "proper" maga framework of racism.
The "meritocracy" people have jumped in bed with out and out racists.
With the millions in bribes, the tech bros want the limelight.
Sadly for them, 76.8 million are more into biblical literalism than into the design of large language models and data centers.
WILL LUDDITES BE THE TECH BROS' KRYPTONITE?

(14,651 posts)I keep posting the classic example.
The cult propaganda conceals the truth of this, always blaming "the others".
Nazis convinced most Germans that Jews and Slavs were the cause of their economic woes.
Cults ultimately are destructive to their members, but many have to reach "rock bottom" similar to addiction, before they awaken even a little. I was discussing this with a friend who went through such hell and decided it was better to live.
Unlike other addicts, the maga cult members wear badges, unlike the Germans who made "the others" wear badges.

(254 posts)I'm not racist, but we need to provide an affordable education for Americans, not hire H1-Bs who often have poor English skills, and in the case of Indians, often bring their own caste prejudices that impede good work relationships with othe Indian H1-Bs.

Add attitudes toward women.
HR at my husbands employer is on the other coast of the US, and as far as I can tell they are a separate company that jobs itself out to those who need HR services. They are American but the CEO and owners of the company where hubby works are Indian, and the vast majority of employees are in India.
A friend of my husbands, an American woman with years of professional experience, wanted to lodge a complaint at HR about higher-ups dismissive attitude toward her. HR told her to not even bother.
In other words, suck it up, buttercup. Welcome to the world where Business has no national boundaries, and Business does not have and never did have, any of those pesky woke laws holding it back.
