MAGA Civil War: Elon Musk says ‘fuck you’ to Trump supporter as H-1B debate heats up

In a fiery exchange on X (formerly Twitter), Elon Musk and Steven Mackeyapparently a Asset partisan, found themselves at odds over the ongoing debate around H-1B visas and immigration reform. Controversy erupted when Mackey shared a video clip of Musk discussing the limits of traditional education and critical thinking, which Musk called a “mental straightjacket” that limits creativity.
Mackey, amid the heated H-1B visa debate, shared Musk’s comments with the caption: “Stop trying to optimize something that shouldn’t exist.” Let’s optimize the H1-B.

Mackey’s tweet quickly went viral, sparking both support and reaction. In response, Musk, known for his strong opinions, fired back with a blunt and provocative response, which many saw as an aggressive defense of the H-1B program.
“The reason I’m in America with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Teslaand hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B,” Musk wrote. He then added: “Take a big step back and F*** YOURSELF in your face. I will wage war on such a matter as you cannot understand. »

The heated exchanges did not stop there. Mackey, attempting to clarify the situation, posted a follow-up message. “There seems to be a lot of confusion about this interaction,” he said. “Personally, I am the biggest Elon fan on the planet and always will be. I am also capable of disagreeing with people I deeply respect and admire.
Mackey further clarified that while he was agnostic about the future of the H-1B visa program, he recognized the existence of “extreme abuses” within the system that needed to be corrected. He called for a fair and balanced resolution to the issue, expressing hope that Musk, Vivek Ramaswamy and the Dogecoin community could contribute meaningfully to the reform debate.
