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.
“Stealing” jobs is just Americans being willfully ignorant that these people are willing to work shit conditions, for less pay, so they can get that “American Dream” they’ve been sold so often.
Yes, you’re correct the corps are enabling it but the other aspect is our own citizens being ignorant fucks and not caring about adjusting their views because it would mean admitting they are wrong.
Enforcement of decent working conditions would be another way to rectify this situation, but guess which government agency enforcement budgets are always underfunded?
