Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Elon Musk’s support for the H-1B visa program, arguing it prioritizes cheaper foreign labor over skilled American workers, contrary to Musk’s claims that the program seeks “the best and brightest.”
Sanders highlighted Tesla’s layoffs of thousands of American workers while hiring H-1B visa holders for lower wages in non-specialized roles.
He called for major reforms to prevent corporations from exploiting the program for cost-cutting.
The debate over H-1B visas has divided political allies, with Trump recently endorsing the program despite prior restrictions during his presidency.
Bernie Sanders
accuses Musk of seeking cheaper immigrant labor with H-1B visasspeaks the plain truth, as usualRight? How do you accuse someone of something they say they are doing while doing it in public and not even trying to act like they aren’t doing it?
Like if Musk was stabbing a guy on a street corner while shouting, “Everybody look at me stabbing this guy!” and Bernie was like, “He should not be stabbing that guy!” and then the news article was like “Bernie Sanders accuses Musk of holding a knife that was repeatedly and forcefully placed inside another person.”
