If anything, we are expecting this new administration to keep its word. We didnt vote for Trump because he represents keeping corporate CEOs rolling in even more profits. "America First" is hopefully not just for jobs at McDonalds. The O-1 Visa is for the world's best and brightest - not the H1B.
Thing is there is a chronic shortage of engineers while at the same time it is a competitive market. And I mean real engineers, not just on paper, so the good ones may take a while to find. Add the American education system that makes it harder (read expensive) to become one and the numbers are there, the number of STEM graduates dwindle in America while the demand grows. Better salaries for mediocrity as per market rules? ok, but the industry risks losing its world edge. So, generalizing, tech companies are put between a wall and a hard place without a proper h-1b. So they ask for it to be rationally reformed instead of abused. O-1 are for the very few top scientists or the like. Those never have been the issue nor they are going to solve the problem and the top US universities have many,
If Musk wants cheap labor he should move his company to where he wants to source his employees. He's slapping Americans in the face by outsourcing. He's following suit that strips our work force and the ability to have a fair wage and afford a decent living.
@tnndll4294 true but it was more Americans than immigrants that propped up the export industry and expanded technologies. It's corporate greed that has flipped it from what made it by outsourcing for profit margins and the expansion of their portfolios in global trade.
The first big crack in the MAGA party. I have a strange feeling there will be many more of these cracks in the MAGA party. I hope Trump doesn't disappoint.
I fail to understand how so many in this country look at these people and think they are good choices to lead. They are all greedy and self serving. Their moral character is non existent! Leaves me sad... and furious
That's probably because you believe what the TV tells you to think, rather than researching all news angles from multiple sources, left and right, to get the full story making an effort be fully informed rather than just swallowing the loudest noise coming from the left, which it usually is, playing to those who let emotion guide them, rather than the cold hard facts. Something the typical uninformed leftist finds politically inconvenient, in most cases.
Not irony but an American reality. For more than a hundred years America offered to bright minds the opportunities that their native countries didn't. And it has worked very well. Just saying.
H1B is way for companies to get low cost labor.

Musk needs to understand that America became great because of immigrants like Tesla, but also because of locals like Edison. US has to have both.

All Musk had to do was not be an evil globalist for 4 freaking years. He didn't even make it into his first day.

Trump did not want H1B in his first term. This guy doesn’t know what he’s talking about. Do your homework.

Laura "Looner" needs to learn that too. You can't call Indians invaders if they were invited here.
why are you spamming ???
I find it hilarious that the corporate world wil have the smell of Currie.
Who elected Elon Musk as President. The rest of the world must be having a good laugh as our expense. This is madness.
America First = YT man first.
If only.
I sometimes think Desantis would have been a better choice 2025 is going to be very very interesting.
No big deal.
AI will take their jobs.
AI - An Indian
Wignats shud Learn plumbing while they can...
Haha!
The irony of the matter is that Vivek, Elon etc are all foreigners
Vivek is technically a citizen, its his parents who were foreigners. He just clearly hates America from that tweet he made.

Vivek was born in Ohio, numpty.
