Summary
Texas Congresswoman Jasmine Crockett sarcastically acknowledged a MAGA talking point, claiming Elon Musk is the immigrant “taking our jobs” by acquiring government contracts and critical services.
“There’s an immigrant taking people’s jobs… his name is Elon Musk,” she wrote, listing industries he influences, including national security, fraud oversight, and social services.
I do as well. I don’t think any jobs were “stolen” from anyone.
Increase the number of participants in an economy, increases both supply and demand for labor, long story short. “Immigrants taking our jobs” is the stupidest talking point in human history.
