Elon Musk condemned a segment of the MAGA movement as "contemptible fools" who should be purged from the Republican Party in a social media post Friday.

Why it matters: A virtual right-wing civil war has broken out over race, class, immigration and the future of President-elect Trump's movement, and Musk is increasingly at odds with Trump's historic base.
  • The schism may force Trump to ultimately take sides between the largely white, working-class supporters who first made MAGA succeed, and the techno-libertarian billionaires like Musk who are at the center of his new administration.
Catch up quick: On Thursday, Musk ally and Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-leader Vivek Ramaswamy posted a lengthy condemnation of American culture and its supposed embrace of mediocrity.

  • Musk spent the next 24 hours defending Ramaswamy and advancing his argument that America needs highly skilled immigrants to fill high-tech jobs.
  • That argument landed with a thud in the MAGA wing that wants to stop immigration and preserve jobs for American workers.
Zoom in: On Friday, cartoonist and right-wing commentator Scott Adams posted on X that MAGA was "taking a page from Democrats on how to lose elections while feeling good about themselves."

  • Musk agreed, and took it a step further.
  • "And those contemptible fools must be removed from the Republican Party, root and stem," he posted.
What they're saying: For people used to being called "deplorables" by Democrats, the condemnation from one of the most important advisors in Trump's inner circle stoked instant outrage.

  • "Calling people who have their country's best interests at heart and wanting to NOT sell out the American people 'contemptible fools' is the biggest L that I've seen Elon make in a long time. Dude needs to relax," gaming streamer Hooks posted.

  • Right-wing activist Laura Loomer tagged Trump in her message. "The Trump base is being replaced by Big Tech executives. So sad to see this. I feel so sad for MAGA," she said. Loomer has alleged Musk was censoring her for her opposition to his immigration comments.
  • Andrew Torba, the CEO of the far-right social network Gab, said in an X post: "He's declaring war on us btw. Should go over well for him as it has for everyone else who has tried."

Is this Keith Olbermann? Because this sounds like the kind of delusional, fantastical crap he'd spew. I know you hive members need something to cling to, but for the love of all that's holy, try harder. This sort of head-in-the-clouds nonsense doesn't numb the pain for long.
You need to slap some cold water on that face of yours, let that shaved head grow back, and wake the hell up. The only "civil" in the Democratic Party is the word itself; they're more divided than a schizophrenic's personality. I don't expect any of you hive drones to admit it, but deep down, if there's even a speck of intelligence under those bald domes, you know it's true.
