Summary

Donald Trump faced backlash from his MAGA base after siding with Elon Musk’s defense of immigration visas, like H1Bs, used by businesses to hire foreign talent.

Trump released his position through a conservative outlet, avoiding direct posts on the issue, but his Truth Social account was flooded with complaints from long-time supporters.

The controversy highlights growing divisions within the MAGA movement over immigration and corporate priorities.
