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

Musk clarified in a follow-up post that when he said “contemptible 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.”
Elon Musk has declared that “hateful, unrepentant racists” should be removed from the Republican Party “root and stem” as the in-party feud over H-1B visas intensifies.
Conversations around H-1B visas have divided Donald Trump’s party, with his Department of Government Efficiency heads Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy on one side and other allies like Laura Loomer on the other. The Space X founder escalated the feud on Friday night when he called for some “contemptible fools” in the GOP to be removed.
Musk made the statement in response to a post on X by Neera Tanden, President Joe Biden’s director of the U.S. Domestic Policy Council.
Trump’s “best buddy” took the dispute 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 touted the “America First” agenda. “Donald Trump promised to remove the H1B visa program and I support his policy,” she wrote on X on Thursday.
She also accused Musk of removing her blue checkmark on X, the social platform he owns.
The tech billionaire condemned “racists” — despite promoting other anti-immigration and racist ideology.
