Overview
Tensions are escalating within Trump’s base as Elon Musk defends H-1B visas, countering MAGA hardliners. New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu faces criticism for claiming Musk’s wealth protects him from corruption. Critics argue Musk’s influence, marked by extensive government contracts and advisory roles, raises serious conflict-of-interest concerns. As Trump’s immigration position shifts, Musk's comments on visas and his alignment with far-right movements in Europe add further complexity to the Republican dynamics. As tensions mount, the divide between tech advocates and nationalist factions within the party continues to grow.
