Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy Face Backlash from MAGA Movement for Not Only Backing But Offering More Visas to Foreign-Born Skilled Workers

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Foreign competition has a huge advantage given that some of them use Slave Labor.

True. And also they are willing to make more.government investment. See: solar energy.

But remember who they are selling to... Elon doesn't mind buying their cheap goods and having them machine or assemble his parts, when he can profit from it.

Name a global company that doesn't buy the cheapest parts possible. This is why I prefer using tariffs to level the playing field.

Keep digging DOGiEs. Your not burying a bone. You need to get six feet down.

I didn't offer any value judgments.

Why the defensive posture? Did something bother you? Whiffs of hypocrisy?

And this is precisely why tariffs don't work, actually. These global supply lines calcify, over time. US manufacturers can't just change suppliers on a dime.Because they don't exist, or the huge infrastructure to make the switch does not exist. So that takes time and more investment. While still operating as usual, with higher prices for consumers, while sharing the burden of the tariffs with the consumers.

It's also why Musk is talking out of both sides of his face. He wants a competitive advantage without having to make these investments.

Oh Puh-leeeze. You posed a loaded question. The leftwing favoring companies you support buy cheap foreign made products. I bet you yourself buy cheap foreign made products.

Tariffs will work better than letting the status quo continue.

 

[theHawk]

Have you considered arguing WHY they are wrong?

Yes, we don’t need Indians to do our tech jobs. We can do them just fine.

Globohomos and Corporate asswipes just don’t like to pay Americans more than what they can pay indentured servants from third world shit holes.

. You posed a loaded question. The leftwing favoring companies you support buy cheap foreign made products.

I didn't ask any question. Your terminal paranoia and cynicism got the best of you, again.

Capitalism doesn't care about your partisan fetishes. It's an algorithm.

Of course consumers will buy the cheapest product available. And the tariffs being sharted about by a certain moron will just make those more expensive both by scarcity and by the bottom line.

What the circle of billionaires wants is more profit. If it comes at the cost of a lower standard of living for the unwashed masses, they will not lose a wink of sleep.

This is why they praise short term measures that benefit them while shitting on the generational investment that would maintain our standard of living in a changing global economy.

 

[Fort Fun Indiana]

Yes, we don’t need Indians to do our tech jobs. We can do them just fine.

In what decade? Not the 2020s. Better check that.

 

[AzogtheDefiler]

I am Not against legal immigration where they are vetted and help society.

There you go again with all of the projections. Standards of living decelerated during the Obama-Biden regime. Now we have a chance to make some reforms, and the loons on the left are losing their last few brain cells over it.

I’ve been in tech for the last twenty years. We don’t use any H1B imports.

You should not talk about your President Elect like that.

 

[Billiejeens]

So, an Indian STEM degree is worth more?

Today, yeah probably.

Well that guy won't be on Twit long.

Elon isn’t our President Elect, Donald Trump is.

 

[theHawk]

College doesn’t make many good tech people. Taking specialized classes and getting certifications is the norm in the IT industry.

 

[MisterBeale]

I agree with Elon Musk on the issue, and I can't stand Laura Loomer, but Loomer is dead right about Musk being a hypocrite.



For those not following the drama on Twitter, Musk stripped Loomer of her status as both Musk and Vivek came out in support of hiring foreign nationals via the H-1B process. Loomer and other pro-MAGA accounts blasted them both for doing so.

The thing about MAGA embracing the techno broligarchs is that deep down, the broligarchs are pro- immigration. And MAGA is not.

I'm sure you were heart broken when silicon valley conspired to take away Alex Jones access to the public. . .

 

[tahuyaman]

There’s no issue here. Most people on the right support legal and selective immigration. Musk and Ramaswamy both support bringing in people who can demonstrate that they can be an addition to our society and not another member of the dependent class. Trump has supported the same idea.
