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.
Don’t forget that (using his words) he himself was an illegal alien that overstayed his student visa and started to work in his first startup with invalid status. Kick him out and ban him from re entry, no exceptions!
He didn’t “overstay” his visa. The minute he set foot on US soil, he dropped out of the college he enrolled in and leveraged his father’s connections to land that startup job. When your family owns an emerald mine, they might not be US citizens, but they’re definitely going to make friends with US citizens, and those are the people you schmooze.
When you enter the US under student visa (F1) and you drop out of college, your status become invalid and you have to leave the country in 30 days even if the visa sticker on the passport says “valid until next year”
With all the resources their family had, there were more “legal” ways to buy access to the country, like creating a fake company with fake employees
Yeah, rule of law applies to everyone, regardless of what those mouthpieces on the Supreme Court might claim.
