Elon Musk and Donald Trump's allies disagree on immigration policies and the role of foreign workers in the tech industry

Elon Musk and other prominent Silicon Valley figures have been advocating for increased immigration of highly-skilled workers to meet the industry's demands. Musk believes that America must attract top engineering talent to secure technological dominance over China. However, this stance has put him at odds with some of Donald Trump's supporters, who are critical of immigration. Specifically, MAGA influencers such as Laura Loomer have accused Musk and his company X of censorship and shadow-banning their accounts for criticizing immigration. Loomer has also accused Musk and X of being biased against MAGA influencers. In response, Musk has emphasized the need for the US to increase legal immigration of hard-working and honest individuals who love America. Musk believes that this is essential for America to "keep winning". The debate highlights the tension between the tech industry's desire for skilled immigration and the concerns of some Trump supporters about immigration policies.
