“but he needs to play a little more ‘chesslike’.”
True.
But he also said what he believes .
What he believes isn’t putting America and Americans first.
I don’t think that’s true. I think many very bright people hold mutually incompatible ideas without realizing that there is a conflict. When challenged Musk was angry, not at the challenge because he is usually very able to roll with the punches but because he felt threatened. I think that’s because of the sudden awareness of an internal conflict. As he recalibrated he made the choice for MAGA and ending/revising H1B visa use.

Easily fixed by raising the minimum salary significantly and adding a yearly cost for maintaining the H1B, making it materially more expensive to hire from overseas than domestically. I’ve been very clear that the program is broken and needs major reform.

America rose to greatness over the past 150 years, because it was a meritocracy more than anywhere else on Earth.
I will fight to my last drop of blood to ensure that it remains that land of freedom and opportunity.
