Musk says ‘hateful unrepentant racists’ must be removed from Republican Party as visa feud deepens

Elon Musk has declared that “hateful, unrepentant racists” should be removed from republican party “root and stem” as the partisan feud over H-1B visas intensifies.

Conversations around H-1B visas have split Donald Trumps party, with the heads of the Ministry of Government Efficiency Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on one side and other allies like Laura Loomer on the other. The Space X founder escalated the feud Friday night when he called for the removal of some “despicable fools” in the GOP.

Musk made the statement in response to a post on X at Neera Tandenpresident Joe Bidendirector of the US Domestic Policy Council.

“I’m an Indian American who was born here, and it’s crystal clear that the Democratic Party sees me as American and a large part of the Republican Party base does not. I hope Indian Americans remember this moment by next election. They don’t see you as one of them. And they never will,” she wrote.

“You thought they just hated other immigrants. But it turns out there’s no exception for you. As many of us have told you,” Tanden continued.

Scott Adams, the creator of the Dilbert cartoon, chimed in, saying MAGA Republicans are now “taking a page from the Democrats on how to lose elections while feeling good about themselves.”

The X owner agreed, writing: “Yes. And the despicable fools must be removed from the Republican Party by the root.”

Musk clarified in a follow-up post that when he said “despicable fools” he was referring to “those in the Republican Party who are hateful, unrepentant racists.” He added: “They will absolutely be the downfall of the Republican Party if they are not removed.”

Trump’s “best buddy” took the controversy to the next level. He and Ramaswamy have defended the need for immigrant workers in the tech industry, while Laura Loomer has slammed the visa program and instead proclaimed the “America First” agenda. “Donald Trump promised to eliminate the H1B visa program and I support his policy,” she wrote on X on Thursday.

She also accused Musk of removing his blue tick on X, the social platform he owns.

The tech billionaire condemned “racists” – despite promoting other anti-immigration and racist ideology.

Last year, he Adams defended after the Dilbert creator described black Americans as a “hate group” and urged white Americans to “get the hell away from” them.

He offered support to Germany’s Alternative to Germany (AfD) party – a far-right group that espouses hateful rhetoric about immigrants – claiming “only the AfD can save Germany.”

Musk too shared a post in August by Tommy Robinsona far-right activist in Britain who was sentenced to 18 months behind bars for admitting contempt of court by repeating false allegations against a Syrian refugee.

He has that too promoted the “great replacement” conspiracy theory, which suggests that white Americans are being deliberately replaced by minority groups and immigrants.
