FRIEDBERG: “I don't think MAGA can exist successfully without the tech alignment. I don't think tech can exist without MAGA … Elon Musk is the de-facto king of tech. He is the person that is saying look, if I'm in conflict with Trump, then tech is in conflict with Trump.”

@elonmusk @friedberg Notwithstanding marriage, it’s possible Elon has merely found something he is not very good at - politics

@elonmusk @friedberg Elon holds more power than people want to admit. MAGA and tech both orbit him whether they like it or not.

@elonmusk @friedberg This is real hubris. MAGA exists before Tech got involved. Tech is a great addition but, H1-Bs are not MAGA. They replace capable American workers with cheap labor, that they can control by holding the visa over their head. Every H1-B talks about this. I’ve seen it first hand.

@elonmusk @friedberg This is a ridiculous assessment. MAGA didn't need tech or Musk in 2016, MAGA didn't need Musk to win in 2024, despite what you think, and MAGA doesn't need Musk in 2028. Elon the Infantile has over estimated his importance politically. So have you.

@elonmusk @friedberg Trump has to wake up. Federal spending is a big problem.

@elonmusk @friedberg

@elonmusk @friedberg This is a laughably bad take. So bad. Turned off immediately.

@elonmusk @friedberg That's an interesting take! The intersection of tech and politics is always a wild ride. Can't wait to see how this plays out!

@elonmusk @friedberg MAGA needs tech support.

@elonmusk @friedberg At the end of the day, everybody has to take a chill pill and remember the alternative is Kamala Harris and the like.
