Is that why Tesla is more profitable than GM, Ford, even VW which is currently suffering from strikes in Germany adding to pressure for Germany to hold new elections in February next year?
So what if he creates companies?
That does not give him the right to screw US citizens while taking advantage of his adopted citizenship, and the unique advsntages of the US.
And I reject your strawman.
I throw stones at those who tilt the scales in their favor. There is no business need, just greed.
I’m ignoring your ad hominem.
Creation is not the only thing: there is malinvestment ad well as investment.
Other Green boondoggles come to mind, like the worthless electric windmills.
And EVs are a major grift, for they not only cost more, but are ultimately powered by coal.
If 70% of the US electric power grid were supplied by conventional nuclear, or Thorium reactors, it wouldn’t be so bad.
It doesn’t matter.
He’s not in the US because of H1-Bs.
He’s in the US because of our rule of law (don’t have to bribe officials to do any and every little thing), our infrastructure to include transport and electricity, our Universities, our purchasing power our lack of intellectual property theft, and our capital markets.
He’s just so greedy he wants to add wholescale wage arbitrage.
As though the richest man in human history can’t afford regular market wages, and ad though he couldn’t afford to pay to train US software developers, as I remember ordinary companies without Musk’s wealth, doing in my lifetime.
Then why’s he pushing for H1-Bs?
And how many H1-Bs are in key engineering slots in Tesla and SpaceX?
And why doesn’t he admit that the other advantages of the US are a reflection of white Christian culture?
Troll.
At the end of the day, the reality is this.
It is and will be
Tech Bros (aka the elite New Deep State) vs. the MAGA BASE.
I assume you are in the latter from your writings. (?)
And we are now 48 hours into the aftermath of digital Ft. Sumter and the god-king is still silent and neutral down in Florida playing golf. Face it, you and others have been played and are being played by the con-men.
His inner sanctum is not in or of the American heartland. They are in the closed, tinsel-town, beautiful people-gated community of gold toilet seat Mar A Lago, which the average red-capped sap will have to climb a wall to get into, rubbing elbows with the elite and well-heeled who funded his campaign and saved his tail from jail.
Condolences.
This sentence is gobbledygook. Structurally, it is a classic example of a run-on sentence.
Instead of blaming everyone else for your misery, look in the mirror, Bucky. Your class envy is overwhelming, exacerbated by intoxicant abuse. Hard to believe you are still employed with your abusive behavior and nasty attitude. I would have fired you.
whadayamean ‘stop trolling’?
do the math ...1986 minus 2024 is not “25 years ago”.
I was only keying on your last sentence...it sounded like it was backing Elon’s contention that Americans are retarded.
If you meant instead, that due to outsoucing/offshoring, the latest generation of US students ran from tech, I agree.
Apologies, sometimes I ready-FIRE!-aim when there are lots of people trolling.
Meet the new boss...
Sounds like your ox has been gored.
Your ad hominems are (as usual from the H1-B apologists) completely off-target.
Satya Nadella started his career in the U.S. at Sun Microsystems before moving to Microsoft, where he eventually became CEO. His journey highlights the significant impact that H-1B visa holders can have on major tech companies.
Sundar Pichai is another prominent example; he joined Google on an H-1B visa and later rose to become the CEO of Alphabet Inc. and Google. His leadership has contributed immensely to Google's growth and innovation.
Elon Musk initially came to the U.S. from South Africa on a student visa but transitioned to an H-1B visa while working on his early ventures, including Zip2 and X.com, which later became PayPal. Musk has since founded or co-founded Tesla, SpaceX, and other companies, significantly influencing various industries.
Jensen Huang founded NVIDIA while on an H-1B visa. NVIDIA has become a key player in graphics processing units (GPUs) and artificial intelligence, showcasing the entrepreneurial spirit supported by the visa program.
Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, also utilized the H-1B visa to start his career in the U.S. before co-founding Google with Larry Page, which has transformed the internet and technology landscape.
Nikesh Arora worked at Google and SoftBank Group before becoming the CEO of Palo Alto Networks, all under the support of the H-1B visa, highlighting the visa's role in career progression across different tech giants.
Tony Xu, co-founder of DoorDash, also started his career in the U.S. on an H-1B visa, contributing to the gig economy through his company's innovative approach to food delivery.
These individuals exemplify how the H-1B visa has been instrumental in bringing skilled labor to the U.S., contributing to technological innovation, and economic growth. Their stories reflect a broader trend where H-1B visa holders have not only filled roles but have also taken leadership positions, founded companies, and spurred job creation.
Google + Intel + Tesla were all founded or built by immigrants.
They employ 400,000+ people collectively.
Percentage of workforce allowed to be H1-B is effectively capped at 15% for big tech companies.
The other 85%+ is American.
At Google only 5% of the workforce was H1-B renewals or petitions in 2023.
The U.S. is 12/37 among first-world (OECD) nations in science.
28/37 in math.
400,000 new engineers are needed every year.
A third of positions go unfilled.
Short-term, we need foreign reinforcements or we will lose.
Long-term, we need to improve the home team
