Vitriol on X against Sriram’s appointment has so far led to what seems to me a very positive outcome: Sacks and Elon have publicly stood up for putting meritocracy over nationalism when it comes to solving the most critical problems facing the US and the world. A very silver lining to an idiotic cloud.

I’m obviously team Sriram but I suspect these battle lines aren’t changing any time soon. MAGA’s foundation is immigration. All of it.

Ive observed the MAGA base square a lot of ideological circles though. If Trump supports high end immigration, his followers can figure out a way to adjust their worldview for that exception. Hope it will happen. Sacks (vocally) and Elon (more carefully) seem off to the right start.

That’s it. It’s foundational to the movement because it’s the first thing Trump highlighted when he came down the elevator back in 2015. It was the first thing out of his mouth, and it’s the first grievance most of his supporters at the coal face will point to. I think it’s a pretty safe bet that Trump won’t want to appear weak to his base while a lot of the media are talking about how much influence Musk et al have on him, and as a result, immigration will be the hard line where he won’t shift.

MAGA’s foundation is nationalism — America First. Immigration is the loudest part of it.
