WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — An online spat between factions of President-elect Donald Trump’s supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House. The rift laid bare the tensions between the newest flank of Trump’s movement — wealthy members of the tech world including billionaire Elon Musk and fellow entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy and their call for more highly skilled workers in their industry — and people in Trump’s Make America Great Again base who championed his hard-line immigration policies. The debate touched off this week when Laura Loomer, a right-wing provocateur with a history of racist and conspiratorial comments, criticized Trump’s selection of Sriram Krishnan as an adviser on artificial intelligence policy in his coming administration. Krishnan favors the ability to bring more skilled immigrants into the U.S. Loomer declared the stance to be “not America First policy” and said the tech executives who have aligned themselves with Trump were doing so to enrich themselves. Much of the debate played out on the social media network X, which Musk owns. Loomer’s comments sparked a back-and-forth with venture capitalist and former PayPal executive David Sacks, whom Trump has tapped to be the “White House A.I. & Crypto Czar.” Musk and Ramaswamy, whom Trump has tasked with finding ways to cut the federal government, weighed in, defending the tech industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. It bloomed into a larger debate with more figures from the hard-right weighing in about the need to hire U.S. workers, whether values in American culture can produce the best engineers, free speech on the internet, the newfound influence tech figures have in Trump’s world and what his political movement stands for. Trump has not yet weighed in on the rift. His presidential transition team did not respond to questions about positions on visas for highly skilled workers or the debate between his supporters online. Instead, his team sent a link to a post on X by longtime adviser and immigration hard liner Stephen Miller that was a transcript of a speech Trump gave in 2020 at Mt. Rushmore in which he praised figures and moments from American history. Musk, the world’s richest man, who has grown close to the president-elect, was a central figure in the debate, not only for his stature in Trump’s movement but also for his stance on the tech industry’s hiring of foreign workers. Technology companies say H-1B visas, used by software engineers and other skilled workers in the tech industry, are critical for hard-to-fill positions. But critics have said they undercut U.S. citizens who could take those jobs. Some on the right have called for the program to be eliminated, not expanded. Born in South Africa, Musk was once on an a H-1B visa himself and defended the industry’s need to bring in foreign workers. “There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent,” he said in a post. “It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.” Trump’s own positions over the years have reflected the divide in his movement. His tough immigration policies, including his pledge for a mass deportation, were central to his winning presidential campaign. He has focused on immigrants who come into the U.S. illegally, but he has also sought curbs on legal immigration, including family-based visas. As a presidential candidate in 2016, Trump called the H-1B visa program “very bad” and “unfair” for U.S. workers. After he became president, Trump in 2017 issued a “Buy American and Hire American” executive order, which directed Cabinet members to suggest changes to ensure H-1B visas were awarded to the highest-paid or most-skilled applicants to protect American workers. Trump’s businesses, however, have hired foreign workers, including waiters and cooks at his Mar-a-Lago club, and his social media company behind his Truth Social app has used the the H-1B program for highly skilled workers. During his 2024 campaign for president, as he made immigration his signature issue, Trump said immigrants in the country illegally are “poisoning the blood of our country” and promised to carry out the largest deportation operation in U.S. history. But in a sharp departure from his usual alarmist message around immigration generally, Trump told a podcast this year that he wants to give automatic green cards to foreign students who graduate from U.S. colleges. “I think you should get automatically, as part of your diploma, a green card to be able to stay in this country,” he told the “All-In” podcast with people from the venture capital and technology world. Those comments came on the cusp of Trump’s budding alliance with tech industry figures, but he did not make the idea a regular part of his campaign message or detail any plans to pursue such changes.

The Chicago Bulls have shown the ability to bounce back following a rough patch. Their opponent on Monday, the host Charlotte Hornets, will try to respond from an even bigger slump. The Bulls notched a 116-111 home victory against the Milwaukee Bucks on Saturday, with Nikola Vucevic and Josh Giddey both scoring 23 points and Coby White pouring in 22. Giddey notched a triple-double (also 15 rebounds, 10 assists) to become the first Chicago player with multiple triple-doubles in a season since Jimmy Butler in 2016-17. That outcome snapped a three-game losing streak and allowed the Bulls to avoid the team's second four-game skid of the season. Two of the three defeats during the previous week had come by more than 20-point margins. "We're capable of beating anybody and we've shown we can lose to anyone and have terrible games," Bulls guard Zach LaVine said. Good decisions have led to desired results for the Bulls. "That's been our growth as a team," coach Billy Donovan said. "We've got to differentiate from taking those (average percentage) shots and kicking it out." White, who'll be back in his home state for the Charlotte game, has reached the 20-point mark only twice during the past month. Those have come in the last two games after he tallied 23 points Thursday at Atlanta. The Hornets, who have lost seven in a row, are trying to find encouraging moments. "There's no quit in this team and there's a ton of fight, which is what I love," coach Charles Lee said. "That's what it's going to take. Nobody is going to feel sorry for us ... you got to figure out how to reset and refocus." The Hornets have even more questions after leading scorers LaMelo Ball (left ankle, right wrist) and Brandon Miller (left ankle) sat out Saturday night's 106-94 home loss to the Oklahoma City Thunder. Ball rates fourth in the NBA with 30.1 points per game. Both Ball and Miller were listed on the injury report as doubtful to play against Chicago. Charlotte, 1-15 in its last 16 games, needs a boost as the team's mood has been rather somber lately. "Right now, we're in a little bit of a slump," center Mark Williams said. "For us, we just got to almost remember the feeling of winning again and just the joy that brings, the vibes, and continue to get that back. Right now, it's almost like we've forgotten." Lee is preaching a form of patience. "I think the message is we've got to be obsessed daily with improvement," he said. "Some of the adversity is evident in life and in basketball." Chicago beat the visiting Hornets 109-95 on Dec. 13. Ayo Dosunmu's 19 points led the Bulls, while Miller had a team-high 21 points for Charlotte, which played without Ball. Dosunmu won't be in uniform for Monday's game. The Bulls announced that he will be evaluated in about 10 days because of a calf strain. Chicago's Lonzo Ball, the older brother of LaMelo, had 10 points in the previous matchup with the Hornets. That remains his season-high total. The Bulls made a weekend roster move by signing forward Emanuel Miller and waiving guard DJ Steward. Miller had been with the Texas Legends, the Dallas Mavericks' G League team.
