Elon Musk , Vivek Ramaswamy , and other members of President-elect Donald Trump's Silicon Valley coalition are clashing with the MAGA movement’s hardline anti-immigrant faction.

The conflict centers on Musk 's recent praise for foreign tech workers, beginning soon after Indian immigrant Sriram Krishnan joined the team of Trump 's AI and crypto czar David Sacks .

Figures like Musk and Loomer once found common cause in attacking non-conservative “Big Tech” figures.

Both sides are still hostile to immigration outside a select group of exceptions.

But in 2024 , Big Tech CEOs have signaled they’ll avoid antagonizing Trump , who could eviscerate parts of the tech industry with tariffs.
