The techbros seem to think they can temper Trump's tariff and immigration threats. Somehow I have my doubts.

How would that be a compromise? The whole problem is giving away the highest salaries and positions to foreigners.

Well I shouldn't say whole problem. Cheap imported labor is a big or bigger issue.

He’s arguing that the proletariat MAGA set doesn’t want any immigration whatsoever, because they believe it takes their jobs; and that the tech bros have a vested interest in filling engineering roles; and that the latter has to make a case to the former that they can achieve their tech-derived economic goals while still implementing a net reduction in immigration numbers.
Judging from their ratios, they don't seem to be making that case well.

I don't see why that's a bigger challenge. They were pretty successful at getting their votes. Turns out plenty of immigrants don't like unrestricted immigration either.

I've never seen someone burn hard-earned political capital faster than Elon and Vivek did over the last 48 hours. Vivek's tweet in particular destroyed any chance of future political appointment or election despite being largely true.
Best take I've seen on the H1B blowup:

Any of you following the Laura loomer / Elon musk psychodrama?
It’s crazy stuff.
“@elonmusk is now referring to MAGA as “contemptible fools”.”

I can't wait for Trump to get sick of musk. That should be a battle of the fragile egos for the ages.
