The division in Donald Trump’s “camp” continues. The fury of MAGA (Make America Great Again) leaders in recent days over visas for high-skilled workers shows no sign of abating.

Some prominent online figures in the Republican “vanguard” are now accusing Elon Musk of using social media platform X to “retaliate” against those who disagree with his support for the program for H-1B visas. The H-1B visa is used for highly skilled workers.

Musk, who was tapped to lead Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency, has clashed with the president’s hardline supporters of H-1B visas. While Trump has targeted the program, Musk — the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX — has defended it, arguing that tech companies — including those owned by Musk — need foreign labor to be competitive.

“If you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they are,” Musk wrote on X, saying in another post Thursday that “bringing the top ~0.1% of engineering talent through legal immigration”. it is “necessary for America to keep winning.”

But staunch Trump supporters, including far-right activist Laura Loomer, conservative influencer Ann Coulter, and former congressman Matt Gage, criticized Musk and his co-head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Vivek Ramaswamy, for their stance in favor of the H-1B program.

In response, Musk stripped Loomer and other members of the right-wing Conservative PAC (Republican political action committee) of their X verification tokens, members alleged.

Loomer, a far-right and staunch Trump supporter, on Thursday claimed that Musk had removed her X verification badge and ability to collect revenue from subscribers because of her opposition to the H-1B program.

Musk said, “it’s a fraud on free speech.”

Loomer has more than 1.4 million followers on X. It is not known how much money she was making through the paid subscription service on the platform.

Before losing her verified badge, Musk responded by posting that “lumer is trolling for attention”.

Preston Parra, chairman of the Conservative PAC, told CNN that about 53 accounts linked to his organization lost their verified badges, including Loomer.

“If anyone thinks for one minute that the REAL backbone of the right wing and MAGA will stand idly by while these big Silicon Valley tech billionaires who didn’t get bowled over enough in high school steal our country, is wrong” Para emphasized in his statement.

Conservative PAC also posted on X: “We spoke out against HB1 visas and it looks like @elonmusk shut us down on purpose?”
