| In reality, however, there are already 20,000 additional H-1B visas
| issued yearly to elite graduates, for example those with master's
| degrees or doctorates like Ilya Sutskever, the famed computer
| scientist Musk recruited to lead OpenAI's research.
|
| Musk's stance is emblematic of what's been called the "broligarchy",
| an elite group of tech-sector entrepreneurs that chafed at Biden
| administration's multi-pronged regulatory crackdown led by Lina Khan
| and Gary Gensler, the respective heads of the FTC and SEC federal
| agencies.
|
| Leading voices from Silicon Valley libertarians, including Marc
| Andreessen and David Sacks, united to endorse Trump hoping to ride
| the anti-establishment wave and profit from the elimination of red
| tape by Musk and fellow government efficiency czar Vivek Ramaswamy.

Will Trump order Kristi Noem to order DHS.GOV to request that the Big
Tech Bros de-platform the legacy American proles co-opting their
websites to spew hate for the Cheap Labor Lobby and their efforts to
dipsossess them?
