My opinion on Elon has done a complete 180 in the past two days. It's one thing to post an opinion that I disagree with, but censoring dissenting opinions while claiming to be a free speech absolutist is vile hypocrisy. Absolutely pathetic.

Sick and tired of multiple people trying to hijack MAGA. Be it him or all the companies donating to Trump's inauguration mere weeks after donating to Kamala. Cough Cough Bill Gates Cough

Ultimately it's Trump's responsibility to listen to his supporters and not his donors. Hopefully he's not a failure like almost every other politician. I'm worried though, because in the past he was heavily influenced by the people around him.

There was some attention paid to the fact that Laura Loomer was on a flight with him a couple months ago. So, in this case, this seems like he'll be hearing both sides of the argument, and will have to make up his own mind. He did add restrictions to H-1Bs in his first term.
