Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Elon Musk’s support for the H-1B visa program, arguing it prioritizes cheaper foreign labor over skilled American workers, contrary to Musk’s claims that the program seeks “the best and brightest.”
Sanders highlighted Tesla’s layoffs of thousands of American workers while hiring H-1B visa holders for lower wages in non-specialized roles.
He called for major reforms to prevent corporations from exploiting the program for cost-cutting.
The debate over H-1B visas has divided political allies, with Trump recently endorsing the program despite prior restrictions during his presidency.
Yeeep. My boss was an engineering exec at Twitter for 8 years, he quit when Musky was an asshole to him in a meeting. Pretty unreal some of the stories he had.
