Bottom line is Elon is not wrong in that the US does not produce enough STEM workers for our needs. We can argue about Indian v Asian but the reality is he is right about our ability to meet our needs with just American graduates. Americans choose easier paths. This is not surprising. Elon is also thinking BIG and his vision will require orders of magnitude greater amounts of STEM engineering types. If the US can’t supply them now, we should not be held back by that fact.

What Elon needs to point out is that massive deportations and a better immigration system will more than offset some increases in H1-B’s.

Importing cheap labor is only making the situation worse by depressing wages and opportunities in the industry.

Stripping human capital from developing nations is also immoral

I’m 1989 a Japanese official said that Americans are dumb and lazy.

We, as a county, hated Japan for decades. I ride my Honda to all the meets and we’re really attacked by Harley guys.

Let’s remember that.

Bottom line is Elon is not wrong in that the US does not produce enough STEM workers for our needs because the H-1B visa has made going into IT too risky for smart white males who,if the even get a job, will be discriminated against.

Fixed it for ya!!

A private business might need indians
America does not
I don’t care about Elon’s company or how much money he makes.
