Warriors of Trump’s World Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy have sparked an intra-MAGA battle with their proposals to increase immigration visas for highly skilled workers.
moss and Ramaswamy, who has been selected by President-elect Donald Trump to lead his Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), argued that American culture has not prioritized education enough and therefore foreign workers are needed for businesses technologies such as Musk’s SpaceX and Tesla.
The pair saw their conservative power soar in the 2024 election as they edged Trump, but the wealthy businessmen now find themselves with Trump’s most ardent base who want to see Trump deliver on promises of immigration restrictions and advancing the US workforce.
Trump restricted access to foreign worker visas during his first administration and has criticized the H-1B visa program, which allows US companies to hire foreign workers in skilled occupations.
“There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent. It is the fundamental limiting factor Silicon Valley,Musk wrote to X, arguing that the tech industry needs to “double” the number of engineers working in the US today.
“The number of people who are super talented AND super motivated engineers in the US is too low,” he added.
Musk compared the hiring of foreign workers to the formation of a sports team. “You need to recruit the best talent wherever they are. This allows the whole TEAM to win.”
Ramaswamy, whose parents immigrated to the United States from India, supported Musk and took shots at American society.
“American culture has revered mediocrity over excellence,” he wrote to X.
“A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the Math Olympiad (sic) champion or the end-of-year promotion game will not produce the best engineers.”
Those comments didn’t sit well with conservative crusaders like pundit Ann Coulter, commentator Laura Loomer, former Rep. Matt Gaetz and even the former UN ambassador. Nikki Haley.

“There is nothing wrong with American workers or American culture,” Haley wrote in a post on the social platform X. “All you have to do is look across the border and see how many want what we have . We should invest and prioritize Americans, not foreign workers.”
Haley and Ramaswamy have a long history of butting heads, starting with their competition in the 2024 Republican primary.
“We welcomed the tech bros when they rushed out to prevent the 3rd grade teacher from choosing his child’s gender and the obvious economic decline of Biden/Harris,” wrote Gaetz, R-Fla. posting on social networks on Thursday “We didn’t ask them to design immigration policy.”
Loomer said: “Our country was built by white Europeans, actually. Not third world invaders from India. It’s not racist against Indians to want the original MAGA policies that I voted for. I voted for of a reduction of H. -Visas 1B It is not an extension”.

The skirmish began after Trump appointed venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan as an AI policy adviser. This nomination sparked an anti-India backlash and critics highlighted his past support for lifting the limit on green cards.
“The Woodstock generation managed to build aerospace, the generation before that went to the moon, America was doing great. The basis of your post is that we were all living in squalor until we were rescued by H-1Bs. So why did everybody want to come here?” right-wing personality Mike Cernovich he answered to Ramaswamy in X.
