Software engineers can devise lots of interesting ways to depose. He’s gonna radicalize the smart people.
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.
There's not, it's just they want good wages and working conditions
As an employer the way to get cheaper workers that accept worse conditions is flood the labor pool. With the cost of an American education, H1B's will always take less. Not just from foreign countries, but also from "better" countries with free education.
This isn't just bad for the tech sector, it's bad for everything that requires an advanced degree.
Yeah the more I've learned about H1 visas the more they stink. You set up your entire life and your employer can destroy it all at any time by firing you. So they take pay cuts, extra hours, extra duties, demands to sleep in the office, just horrible shit that American employees won't stand for.
All we need to do is extend it to a 2 year rolling period for the individual. If you lose your job you have 2 years to get the next one. And employers have to wait 5 years before they can bring in another H1b employee if they fire one. After 5 years give them a green card.
Why work for a man who expects his workers to work "hardcore" for 80 hours a week without any overtime pay?
Sounds like exploitation to me.
Don't forget that (using his words) he himself was an illegal alien that overstayed his student visa and started to work in his first startup with invalid status. Kick him out and ban him from re entry, no exceptions!
Why don't you make the education system here in the US better first.
LOL who the fuck am I kidding.
FTFA:
Another Musk follower said that he should "open a school" to better train Americans, and then added, "We have brains."
"If you need a school, you’ve lost already," Musk replied.
You need a school? Get back to work peasant.
Oh shit! That’s so fucked up.
What is so incredible is that the education system in the US is so fucked that so so so so SO many high skill, high education jobs need to be brought in from overseas. Meanwhile Elon just wants to fuck over the education system in the US even more.
The reason why he wants to bring in foreign labor is, in all likelihood, to make his employees more easily controlled. Expats are less likely to raise a fuss about their living conditions and may not have much of a connection to the political movements around them to take part in protests. Also if those employees have their visa's dependent entirely on the whims of their employer, if they DO get uppity in any way, they can face almost immediate deportation upon being fired.
In short, he does not give a fuck about Americans. It is 100% about control and exploitation.
And what happens to us who were born here? Where are we supposed to go when all the jobs that we could fill are being taken by H1Bs and Optimus robots?
We are all meant to go fuck ourselves.
CEOs man...
When I voted for the leopards ate my face party I didn't think that the leopards would eat their own faces ;)
But I thought we wanted to deport people, not import them.
The way to attract talented American engineers is to pay them more, not replace them with ringers. Fucking twat.
