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 was browsing reddit and the liberal side of it from politics to bpt and cscareers and I love how they’re getting redpilled on Indians and immigration. It seems they finally care when the jobs are personally affecting them. Liberals in their ivory tower are finally getting to smell what they sowed.

      The left’s been saying we should prosecute the employers exploiting immigrants rather than the immigrants themselves for… well, ever.

      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.
