The New York Post reports:
President-elect Trump told The Post Saturday he supports immigration visas for highly skilled workers, appearing to side with Elon Musk in the roiling intra-MAGA debate on the issue.
“I’ve always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That’s why we have them,” Trump said by phone, referring to the H-1B program, which permits companies to hire foreign workers in specialty occupations.
“I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I’ve been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It’s a great program,” added Trump, who restricted access to foreign worker visas in his first administration and has been critical of the program in the past.

Elon’s telling us the H1Bs are all super geniuses while Trump is telling us they are cutting his grass.

So basically the Trump Admin’s immigration policy is to increase the number of people from other countries who come in and take high-skilled, high paying American jobs, while deporting everyone else doing physically grueling jobs for shit wages?

MAGA, you got rug-pulled by both these assholes.
Elon Musk said in the last 48 hours that you are “subtards,” “the retarded right,” “ungrateful motherfuckers,” & “crackheads”—and censored you.
This morning, Trump sides with him on the #1 issue you supposedly cared about. https://t.co/LlzQNw8VWW pic.twitter.com/rPO1GTj93G

Having made mutually exclusive commitments to both MAGA’s racist faction and its billionaire techbro wing, Trump appears to once again align himself with President Musk’s agenda — which makes sense since Musk publicly threatened war pic.twitter.com/lBipAsyG46
