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.
Lol, lmao even. “Immigration” in the US is systemic exploitation. It wouldn’t drag down folks’ wages if it wasn’t set up with the express purpose of creating an underclass of labor. We would all be much better off under an official open border policy.
