“Using H-1B workers to replace capable and willing American citizens is turning entire communities upside down. Left unchecked it’ll turn our nation upside down” -Stacy Whetzell (TVA Engineer) It isn’t just illegal immigration hurting America Elon Musk!

@elonmusk It's also not even immigration. The new trend is simply opening a high speed connection to third world country and running all the higher end tech jobs from india directly now.

@elonmusk why did $MSFT request (and receive) 3500 visas in a year when it laid off 3500 US workers? explain to me from the point of view of actual Americans, why do we need to facilitate microsoft's ability to import foreign labor?

@elonmusk And far too often, American IT/Tech workers have had to train their H-1B Visa replacements.

@elonmusk Yup

@elonmusk I see it EVERY DAY as an IC in IT. Jobs that I would have normally got 4+ years ago virtually all going to "refugees" and "immigrants." What happened to be required to find a US citizen first? The portals don't care. They get their fee and some just ship the $$ overseas.

@elonmusk It's wage arbitrage intentionally done to suppress the wages of US workers. I have had colleagues gloat about hiring whole teams of foreign workers explicitly to cut costs.

@elonmusk few understand the damage the h1b program has done to our domestic workforce and industry

@elonmusk This man knows what he’s talking about.

@elonmusk Precisely. America must stop the inflow of these H1B immigrants who take high paying american jobs from skilled ,educated & experienced americans. They are the preffered cheap labor of tech companies like microsoft & google.

@elonmusk I'm sorry, everyone, but I think this time, he will be persuaded to increase legal immigration substantially because people around him will push for this. Vifake, Chamath, and David Sacks will give away green cards like flyers.

@elonmusk It's literally replacement look at these numbers $MSFT had 3500 layoffs last year and they received 3500 H1B visas if they need those 3500 devs so desperately, why did they lay off 3500 workers?

@elonmusk I saw a Canadian thread a few weeks back. People don't recognize their own cities, anymore, or places of business. A family trip to the Park? A leering gauntlet through the original Outer Limits' planet Chromo.

@elonmusk A country without economic borders is not a nation. Diversity is anathema to cultural homogeniety, the hallmark of harmony and prosperity. A country of immigrants will never be a nation; a trade hub station ourpost perhaps but nothing more.

@elonmusk Canada has realised how influx of immigrants has damaged its social and economic fabric with rising costs of housing and host of other problems. Has cracked down on immigration! USA, far more populated, having enough problems continues to sit back as immigrants continue to surge

@elonmusk @StephenM lots of people starting to call for mass increases in "skilled" immigration, we will become like Canada which has suppressed wages with their work visas.

@elonmusk When was that recorded

@elonmusk Some be so single issue that you turn a blind eye to corruption. H1B is just the same system as illegal aliens, just for the more competent.

@elonmusk That's right. American labor must prosper if the country and the economy is to prosper.

@elonmusk I get the impression Elon loves him some cheap H1B pajeets.

@elonmusk It already has. Just take a trip to Silicon Valley and you will see right away the numbers of foreign workers vs. US citizens around. Its astonishing…

@elonmusk This has happened extensively in the federal government, too.

@elonmusk Important thing here is "communities". It's not just the workplace that's effected. H1B immigrants have taken over entire cities (e.g. Fremont, CA). They destroy, in a matter of years, generations of history, culture, and customs in favor of their own.

@elonmusk One H1B visa enables spouse on H4 visa to get a job means the couple captures two jobs. Those on H4 visa should not be allowed to work. This will help unskilled American citizens to capture those jobs.

@elonmusk India Indians are by far the most racist people that exist, they fire entire groups of people when they buy a business and replace it with Indians.

@elonmusk Once an Indian takes control of management in a company, he and his fellow Indians will hire their own kind. I had to train my replacement and was turned down for jobs because I am not Indian.

@elonmusk Why would the soon to be “replacer in chief” care?

@elonmusk Musk supports H-1B. How else is he going to have run his companies Tesla and X?

@TiensToi @elonmusk People just don't realize how 2-faced modi and india really is! And talk about the masters of deciet and lies? Look at their culture, it's built-in to it! And don't forget the thuggees cult, or their deity kali, goddess of assassins and theives! They come here to conquer! 🤬‼️

@elonmusk A couple decades late.

@elonmusk Exactly right!!

@elonmusk Learn to code.

@elonmusk @8USC12

While STEM graduates from ivy league and other good schools are top notch, but number of them are very limited far far less than what we need every year, an average John Doe native US college educated stem student with degrees from an average school, is not as smart as, not working as hard as than those stem students oversea graduated from top schools in their countries. with that said, we do need talents from oversea. the problem was the last few years H1B visa holders got flooded by many average oversea workers, mostly Indians. we need to have some sort of program that H1B should be only awarded to those graduates got educated in US or graduates from top five or top 10 schools in their country for Indians and Chinese.

@elonmusk Offshoring American Technology Jobs has been a problem for decades. They started with Customer Service Help Desk Level 1 Level 2 Now Level 3 Support and Engineering India is the China of Tech Jobs.

@elonmusk Good enough to train, but not retain, yeah that's a problem!
