hey MAGA — President Musk wants an immigrant to take your job

the Space Nazi says the quiet part out loud

Dec 27, 2024

on Christmas Day, United States President-Elect Elon Musk posted a heartfelt message of peace on Earth for all Americans — and that message was go fuck yourselves, you lazy fucks.

“Investing in Americans is actually hard. Really hard. It costs money and time and effort to make a person productive. It’s a short term net loss. It’s much easier to bring in skilled workers who might not do quite a good a job, but will work for a fraction of the cost and be happy just to be here.”

wow, talk about saying the quite part out loud — because what the Space Nazi is confessing in his tweet is actually what every oligarch believes.

why should America bother to educate its citizens? it’s too hard and it’s expensive and it takes too long. it’s so much easier to bring in immigrants who will do the work for dirt cheap.

um, I have a question. isn’t President Musk advocating for the exact opposite of what his butler Donny Convict ran on — that whole let’s round up every immigrant, and ship them the fuck out of our country thing?

oh gee, it looks like MAGA is wondering the same thing.

“How did DOGE go from ‘let’s cut wasteful government spending’ to ‘here’s why we need to import more immigrants’ almost overnight? Did I miss something?!”

MAGA is losing its collective mind right now over what they see as betrayal of their core racist principles. pass the popcorn, as we back up and see how we got here.

The two sides began to argue on Sunday, after Donald Trump appointed Sriram Krishan, a partner at Andreesen Horowitz, as a White House policy adviser on Artificial Intelligence to work with Sacks, the Trump administration’s crypto and AI czar.

in the grand scheme of things, this should be a big bowl of who fucking cares, right? Donny’s doling out another cush government job as a favor to the tech bros who were huge donors to his campaign. bfd, right? on a scale of Piss-Drunk Pete Hegseth to Bobby Brainworms, it barely moves the needle.

but America’s top racists shit a massive brick. here’s why:

Krishan has also been a proponent of removing country caps on green cards and H1-B visas, which allow American companies to hire foreign workers for certain specializations.

Loopy Laura Loomer, who’s been nursing a grudge ever since Donny’s handlers banished her from the campaign trail after she tried too hard to get Dear Leader to cop a feel, went ballistic.

“Deeply disturbing to see the appointment of Sriram Krishnan @sriramk as Senior Policy Advisor for AI at the Office of Science and Technology Policy. It’s alarming to see the number of career leftists who are now being appointed to serve in Trump’s admin when they share views that are in direct opposition to Trump’s America First agenda.”

Sriram Krishnan is, of course, in no way a “career leftist” — but that’s where the bar is now in MAGA-land. toe the ideological line, or you’re a communist Marxist fascist.

Vivek Ramaswamy then dropped a very long tweet in which he lectured Americans for being underachieving slugs who apparently only watch TV sitcoms from the 1990s.

A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers. A culture that venerates Cory from “Boy Meets World,” or Zach & Slater over Screech in “Saved by the Bell,” or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in “Family Matters,” will not produce the best engineers.

this is the point where President Musk agreed with Viv, and started whining about how difficult it is to educate Americans, and how it’s just easier to import engineers. here’s that tweet again.

that’s when Loopy Laura dropped this bomb.

“The elephant in the room is that @elonmusk, who is not MAGA and never has been, is a total fucking drag on the Trump transition. He’s a stage 5 clinger who over stayed his welcome at Mar a Lago in an effort to become Trump’s side piece and be the point man for all of his accomplices in big Tech to slither in to Mar a Lago.”

“stage 5 clinger.” excellent work, Laura. 10/10. no notes.

and that’s when we got to see two of the craziest and most-thin-skinned rageaholics on social media go after each other.

this all culminated in Mr. Free Speech Absolutist taking away Loopy’s blue check and limiting the character count in her posts.

the Space Nazi can spin all the bullshit excuses in the world about how fucking hard it is to educate people in the US, but here’s the real reason that the tech bros prefer to hire Asian engineers over skilled Americans.

“American workers can leave a company. Imported H1B workers can't. Tech wants indentured servants, not ‘high-skilled’ workers.”

goddammit, universe, stop making me agree with Ann Coulter.

but when Ann is right, she’s right. tech bros love to hire foreign engineers and bring them into America on H1B visas, which locks them into working only for the company that sponsored them. they can’t quit their jobs to find better work, and woe unto them if they get fired — because instead of severance, what they’ll get is a plane ticket back to their country of origin.

so, the Space Nazi can abuse these workers, make them work 20-hour days, give them shit wages, deny them overtime pay — and then threaten to fire them if they complain.

nice work, if you can get it.

don’t worry, MAGA — Donny’s still going to deport immigrants — but only the unskilled ones doing the jobs that you don’t want. the fruit-pickers and the slaughterhouse workers. they’ll be gone.

but the skilled work? Elon and Vivek will make sure those jobs are going to H1B immigrants who they can exploit — and guess which jobs will be left for you to do?

MAGA’s going to learn the hard way that America’s oligarchs don’t give a fuck about them.

oh, and guess what: the price of eggs won’t be coming down any time soon.

here’s your daily reminder that I can be found on Blue Sky at this link.

this is going to be my closing message for the foreseeable future:

practice self-care. do what you need to do to keep sane. if that means you need to disengage with my daily posts for a while, I get it. this community of ours will still be here when you return.

to all the people who have signed on in the days since the election, welcome aboard. settle in as we all try to deal with the shitfuckery that’s ahead of us.

we are all in this together, and we are all here for each other.
