  • An online spat between factions of Donald Trump's supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House.

The article from MSN discusses an online debate sparked by a post from Elon Musk about foreign workers in the tech industry, highlighting tensions within Donald Trump's political coalition. Musk's post, which criticized the H-1B visa program for allegedly replacing American workers with lower-paid foreign labor, received significant attention and varied responses. Some supporters of Trump echoed Musk's sentiments, arguing that the visa program undermines American jobs. Conversely, others within the same political spectrum, including some tech industry advocates and libertarians, defended the program, emphasizing the benefits of skilled immigration for innovation and economic growth. This debate underscores the conflicting views within Trump's voter base, where economic nationalism clashes with the tech sector's need for global talent, illustrating broader ideological divides on immigration and labor policies.
