Elon Musk admitted that the H1-B visas are "broken" and floated a potential fix as he sought to cool a raging civil war within the MAGA base over the immigration program for highly skilled foreign workers.

Just a day after vowing to "go to war on this issue" and telling detractors to "F— yourself," Musk, the world's richest man, acknowledged some of the criticisms of the program getting abused and argued that the US should make it more costly to hire foreigners.

"Easily fixed by raising the minimum salary significantly and adding a yearly cost for maintaining the H1B, making it materially more expensive to hire from overseas than domestically," Musk wrote on X late Saturday in response to a thread claiming H1-B visas were being used to hire low-wage programmers and developers.

"I've been very clear that the program is broken and needs major reform," he added. "I'm confident that the changes made in the @realDonaldTrump administration will make America much stronger."

The controversy continued to boil even after President-elect Trump waded into the debate on Saturday, telling The Post that, "I've always liked the visas, I have always been in favor of the visas. That's why we have them."

Shortly before Christmas, several MAGA diehards including Laura Loomer began raging against the Dec. 22 announcement of venture capitalist Sriram Krishnan to serve as the incoming Trump administration's senior policy adviser for artificial intelligence (AI).

Loomer, 31, in particular, began fuming at the growing influence of the "tech bros" in Trump's orbit who harbor comparatively lax views on immigration. From there, a rift opened between the MAGA base over the H1-B visa system — which allows highly skilled foreign workers into the country if companies show they can't find American talent to fill the roles..

The program is particularly favored by Silicon Valley — and critics (some using racist language) pointed out that many of the tech workers from India.

Musk and fellow Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) co-head Vivek Ramaswamy, 39, eventually chimed in and defended H1-B visas, which allow up to some 65,000 guest workers into the US.
