Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Elon Musk over his support for the H-1B visa program, calling it a tool for corporations to replace good-paying American jobs with lower-wage foreign labor.
Sanders cited data showing U.S. companies laid off 85,000 American workers between 2022 and 2023 while hiring 34,000 H-1B visa holders, arguing this undermines U.S. competitiveness.
Musk, who credits the visa program for his success, defended it, stating he’s ready to “go to war” over the issue.
The debate has divided MAGA conservatives, exposing rifts within Trump’s coalition.
Is everybody anti immigrant now because bad x man said something pro immigration? Politics is a disease. Everybody is already an anti-electric vehicle now. Y’all are dancing like puppets.
That’s because Elon isn’t supporting H1B out of his love for immigrants or immigration. He’s supporting it because he knows he can pay them less. He’s a capitalist douchebag selling out the country to lowest bidder
You’re the one dancing to this capitalist’s tune
So if any idiot “supports” a good thing for a bad reason, you have to turn against the good thing? Come on. Think.
