The alliance between tech industry leaders and the MAGA movement is facing significant internal tensions, particularly over immigration policies. Elon Musk, appointed by President-elect Donald Trump to co-chair the Department of Government Efficiency, has advocated for the H-1B visa program, emphasizing its role in attracting top engineering talent to the U.S. This stance has drawn criticism from MAGA hardliners, including Steve Bannon, who argue that such policies undermine American workers. The debate underscores the ideological divides within the movement, raising questions about the sustainability of this alliance as the new administration takes office.
