Summary

A rift has emerged within Donald Trump’s MAGA base over immigration, sparked by his appointment of Indian-born entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan as AI adviser.

Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy defended hiring high-skilled foreign workers, emphasizing the need for global talent in tech, while far-right figures like Laura Loomer and Matt Gaetz criticized the move as anti-MAGA.

The debate reflects deeper divisions between Trump’s traditional anti-immigration stance and his recent openness to legal immigration for skilled graduates, signaling potential conflicts within his incoming administration.

    What kind of world do we want to build?
