NextImg:Elon Musk Changes Twitter Algorithm to Diminish MAGA Opposition to Silicon Valley Group and Support Influence Over Trump Policy - The Last Refuge

Something very interesting and openly obvious is happening amid the backlash that Elon Musk and the Silicon Valley network are facing to their H1B position.

Elon Musk has changed the Twitter algorithm to dimmish the voices of those who would openly confront his network of supporters within Silicon Valley and beyond.  If large follower Twitter accounts, like those of Musk himself, David Sacks, Vivek Ramaswamy and Musks’ promoted network of influencers, begin blocking accounts on the platform, then the voices of those accounts get purposefully diminished by the algorithm.

Much like having a VIP section that can remove people from the audience, Musk is pushing opposing viewpoints to the acceptable narrative into the background of the public square.

The timing of this is not accidental.  The allies of Musk have been getting blasted by some rather large MAGA accounts over the H1B visa position of the Silicon Valley team.  In response, Musk is pushing those opposition voices out of the conversation.  This is another way for the newly aligned tech group to maintain influence over the policy of President-elect Donald Trump. In fact, I have been informed this is exactly the purpose.

President Trump announced that David Sacks would lead the tech, crypto and AI policy group.  This team being assembled by Sacks are all-in support of H1B visa use to bring in foreign workers.  They do not want publicly visible opposition to impede their agenda.

To be fair, it makes sense for the tech network to do this because it is akin to President Trump’s incoming chief of staff, Susie Wiles, saying she would not let what she defines as “clown car people” influence President Trump.  It’s an issue of controlling a very directed policy initiative.  However, the issues around immigration in general, and H1B visas specifically are critically important to many of the long-term Trump supporters.

Elon Musk is building a bubble around Donald Trump to diminish opposition to the technocratic influence of the new allies.

Mr Musk is shutting out, or at least making quiet, the core MAGA base while elevating a new group of arrivals that support Donald Trump.  The new group of influential technocrats, billionaires in the tech industry and platform control operators, do not hold the same ideological interests as the core MAGA base.  This is the larger reason for the conflict that has been happening over the past week, on the subject of H1B workers.

Musk’s decision to essentially put a friendly super moderator system in place that can control and silence the microphone on Twitter, is a specific move that represents what I personally have been warning about.  This group of influence agents do not have the same priorities on much of the MAGA policy the voters expressed.

This is the same basic policy justification behind the “shadowbanning” and platform manipulation previously instituted by Twitter to silence opposition to the COVID-19 vaccination. Only this time it is Elon Musk instituting the algorithmic manipulation, to silence opposition to David Sacks, Vivek Ramaswamy, Sriram Krishnan, Peter Thiel, Chamath Palihapitiya, Jacob Helberg and eventually JD Vance.

If the technocrats control the visible public conversation, that’s not supporting free speech; instead, that’s manipulation and selective censorship of the audience.  This is exactly how social media was being controlled in the era of COVID.  The new boss motives are the same as the old boss motives, the policy is the only thing different.

LEE SMITH – “Don’t be lulled by fake MAGA truce: H1B issue is indeed consequential. When Dems & GOP offshored mfg (NAFTA, WTO), rationale was that Americans would get great “tech service” jobs—but H1B showed they wouldn’t get those jobs either.

And there’s nothing you can do about it, said Dems and GOP alike. You want those jobs back? Where’s your magic wand? And besides, you deserve the pain, clinging to your guns and God — you’re racist, homophobic, etc. you’re deplorables.

This is what Trump was elected to fight, but according to Vivek: In fact, the things that have caused you pain are your fault. Your culture prizes mediocrity, your parents raised you poorly. Then Elon: Fight me on a thing that has hurt you, and I will crush you.

Vivek continues to double down: instead of walking back or even just modifying his public rebuke of American families, he characterizes it as one of his “hard truths” — as other MAGA influencers have jumped to his defense:

‘In fact, nothing bad happened, it was simply a conversation, and it’s the left who is trying to divide us!’ But to tell people long targeted by an elite demoralization campaign that they shouldn’t believe what they heard with their own ears and blame it on others is predatory.

So, yes H1B matters because it’s an effect of the core issue — indeed the reason DJT is POTUS — a political and corporate establishment that has waged a half-century long campaign to destroy the American middle class. (LINK)

Predictably, there was always going to be uncomfortable moments in this tenuous MAGA alignment with the billionaire technocrats; however, this is not that.  This is far beyond uncomfortable.  This is a core issue for millions of Americans, and the Silicon Valley response to controlling the conversation is not good.

Ultimately, as we are all witnessing, many of these people do not have our best interests at heart.

Keep watching closely.
