Summary

Elon Musk faced backlash from his followers on X after advocating for importing “super talented engineers” to address a shortage in the U.S. tech industry.

Musk likened hiring top foreign talent to building a championship sports team and argues that there is a shortage of talented and motivated American engineers.

Critics argued there’s sufficient U.S. talent being overlooked or underpaid, with some pointing to widespread tech layoffs.

Musk dismissed claims of low wages or training gaps, maintaining a need for exceptional engineering talent to advance innovation.

      I don’t know. I think the way he’s alienating people, sooner or later he’s going to annoy the wrong person and end up finding himself falling out a window.

      Just a thought. An observation, not a prediction or a threat.

      Yeah he proved that he basically bank rolls many GOP members and without being elected anywhere he was able to pull the shut down stunt. He is ingrained into this campaign no matter what.
