Musk is only trying to cool it down to keep doing it. Screw Musk!
I don’t agree. Musk is all in for MAGA. He put millions’s of more dollars on the line campaigning for Trump than he could ever save with H1B visa employees. His suggestion for how to fix the H1B program ensures there would be no savings to employers.
Musk is unique. He is passionate and unconventional. He is on the spectrum. His response was a typical response for a person on the spectrum facing what they view as an attack. I think it was threatening because he hadn’t thought much about the issue since he usually rolls with the punches responding with humor. In his mind it was synonymous with the 0.1% of foreign talent. His companies hire many H1B visa people but I’m sure that isn’t an area he knews about.
After he had a chance to calm down he posted that the H1B visa was broken and should be revised so that the salary and the cost of hiring under that category should be high enough that it would be cheaper to hire American. I believe Musk’s involvement with the Trump campaign may have pushed Trump over the top. DOGE is very popular and Musks donations, rallies and the $1M he gave away to Trump voters dailly generated a lot of buzz as did his instant starlink support to flood victims.
Everyone is a package and Musk should be judged in total with some understanding of what it means to be on the spectrumm.
