Elon Musk Says Government Is Doing A ‘Quiet Trial’ Of Trump Gold Card Visa
- Elon Musk announced that the U.S. Government is conducting a quiet trial of the $5 million Trump 'gold card' immigration visa program.

- This initiative signals a shift toward merit-based immigration focused on wealthy investors, though its launch date remains unclear and has drawn debate on equity and transparency.
