He said they were bad the first time he issued an executive order in June 2020, sort of putting a halt on them. And then he came out like, you know, a week ago and said, oh, I've always thought they were great. It is unclear if he actually understood what anybody was talking about. It seems like he was talking about H2B, not H1B.

Right, because those are the ones he used. I think Elon gets what he wants. They get to have H1B. And the MAGA base, like Laura Loomer and Steve Bannon will get upset, but they aren't the base. Those are the elites. They are MAGA elites. The base are the actual voters. And I don't think the voters are going to give two shits about this because it is only like 85,000 people.

And so long as Trump is doing something else to make them happy and to excite them, they're not going to hold a grudge over this. And so they're all going to get away with it. Sarah?

Yeah, I totally agree with that. But I could also flip the telescope around. I mean, Trump has the power. Trump is the one who gets to person or unperson people. I think that's still true. He couldn't entirely unperson Elon, but he could unperson him. And the other thing is, at this point, he could take a lot of people out of Twitter. Twitter's already hemorrhaged users.

I think if Donald was unhappy with Musk, he could tell a lot of people, now that he's got his nose under the tent on Twitter, he could say, yeah, this platform is woke now.

And they're like, you know, five people on Truth Social and five people on Parler maybe or whatever. Getter. Getter, right.
