Summary
Elon Musk faced backlash from his followers on X after advocating for importing “super talented engineers” to address a shortage in the U.S. tech industry.
Musk likened hiring top foreign talent to building a championship sports team and argues that there is a shortage of talented and motivated American engineers.
Critics argued there’s sufficient U.S. talent being overlooked or underpaid, with some pointing to widespread tech layoffs.
Musk dismissed claims of low wages or training gaps, maintaining a need for exceptional engineering talent to advance innovation.
I’ll believe any negative Elon news when it starts to actually hurt his pocketbook or well-being or life.
Until then I am apt to just consider it clickbait.
I dream of the day he’s held accountable for something in a major way, but like my desire for that for Trump, I just have my doubts.
I figured it was more a ploy to knock him down a rung or two after his successful election by his assistant president.
