Musk 'obsessed' with immigration because 'he knows' what's at stake — for him: Ex-GOP guru

Raw Story  

Tech billionaire Elon Musk may be so enthusiastic about going to war with President-elect Donald Trump's base on high-skilled immigration because he fears he technically could be stripped of his citizenship under a strict interpretation of Trump's plans for mass deportation, veteran GOP strategist Stuart Stevens told MSNBC's Nicolle Wallace this week. This comes as Musk and his fellow Silicon Valley MAGA supporters pick a fight with Trump's longer-time populist base over the immigration issue, with longtime Trump adviser Steve Bannon in particular stirring up anger at Musk. "Love him or loathe him, Steve Bannon went to jail for Donald Trump. Can you weigh in on the brutality and the public nature of this very early and vicious fight between Steve Bannon and Elon Musk?"
