Summary

Tesla replaced many laid-off U.S. workers with foreign H-1B visa holders after a 2024 wave of layoffs affecting 15,000 employees.

These visas, tied to employer sponsorship, often lower compensation and give employers significant leverage over workers.

Critics argue this displaces U.S. employees, as senior engineers were replaced by lower-paid junior engineers.

CEO Elon Musk, while advocating for expanding H-1B visa caps, faces backlash, especially from conservatives, for “job-stealing” concerns.

Musk contends there’s a U.S. skill shortage, but critics highlight potential exploitation tied to Tesla’s demanding work culture and visa dependence.

These are the types of articles that really hurt trump. The ones that don't even mention him.

For too many people if you take them to that final step of logic to where it's the fault of something they like, they have an emotional reaction.

So as tempting as it is and as obvious as it seems, you gotta let people get to that last step on their own so they think it was their idea. If they think someone told them, they'll disagree out of spite.

Why would an article on President Musk need to mention his vice president?

We are laughing but that probably was their agreement.

trump wants to not be in prison and wants money. The president title provides first, musk provides the 2nd. musk wants power.

If we're looking for any consistency from trump, the one aspect would be his making snap decisions that benefit him in the moment without forethought to the consequences or who else it effects. Any agreement trump might have made with musk would be worth the entire value of the McDonald's burger wrapper it was likely written on.
