Musk’s Immigration Stance Sparks Right-Wing Backlash
Elon Musk’s public support for H-1B visas, which allow U.S. companies to hire highly skilled foreign workers, has drawn significant criticism from some right-wing individuals and groups. Musk, himself a former H-1B visa recipient and a leading employer of H-1B visa holders at Tesla, argues that a shortage of highly skilled American engineers necessitates recruiting top talent globally. This stance has sparked a heated online debate, with critics accusing Musk of prioritizing profit over American workers and fueling concerns about wage depression and cultural displacement. The controversy highlights the increasingly polarized views on immigration and the role of skilled foreign workers in the U.S. economy.
