Especially the small part in article where Elon's brother admits they were illegally in the US after their student Visa's ended.

Quote from article incase the argument of he laid off 15k and can only hire 2k Visa workers.

That’s why the US Congress has mandated a 65,000 visa cap limiting the number of H-1B visas that can be issued each fiscal year, plus an extra 20,000 for foreign people coming out of graduate programs at US universities.

Tesla has been a big user of those visas, and its CEO, Elon Musk, has been using his newfound political influence to promote increasing the cap of H-1B visas. He received significant pushback from his new friends on the right side of the political spectrum in the US, who see this visa as being used to steal jobs from Americans.

elmo is a scum bag. That's not news.

But they should retroactively go back to show when he stayed here illegally, because I am pretty
sure he lied about that on his citizenship application, and take away his US citizenship.

In an alt timeline, Biden is a man and made that move on the Oligarch.

Moral of the Story: Sometimes having your cake and eating it too somehow manages to unexpectedly end up having your face being slammed into it up to your ears by the very folks who bought you that cake when they found out you meant to eat that cake aaalll by yourself. Apartheid Elon, some folks in South Africa are LOL-ing their asses off at you from the way you played and betrayed them American racist white folks that at one time thought you were a highly regarded supremacist MAGA team member. You've been EXPOSED. Your pet hyena Trump and Swammy too. I wonder how Trump is going to bullshit his way out of this one. Not that it matters to those bamboozled dumbfuck voters who hired him but yeah, a hint of things to come.

If the talent is so scarce that you need to bring in international workers, the pay for them should reflect that. Maybe set the pay for them n the top 10% for either that company or the industry. That way it's not a cost cutting measure.

Just wait for the "they took our jerbs" people to start picking fruits and veggies.

Maybe the 600lb shows will fade away.
