Billionaire Elon Musk is coming under fire from some right-wingers online over comments he made in support of H-1B visas, non-immigrant visas that allow employers to hire highly skilled foreign workers.

“We don’t want or need to turn this country into India,” reads one viral response to Musk’s post.

“America is not your sports team. It’s my home,” countered someone else.

“I used to have some faith in Elon, but after this post I’m done. The mask is off,” slammed one right-wing account. “Elon supports erasing the cultural and ethnic identity of America to help grow his bank account. He’s parasitic and destructive.”

“So why not try to get people from Europe?” replied another account. “Engineers here in northern Europe earn HALF of what US engineers do, yet you keep importing Indians instead.”

The news is that Musk tweeted on Christmas day 2024 that Trump's anti immigration campaign was a lie. Co-President Musk wants to increase immigration for his companies instead of paying for American workers.

Its not about America or American workers. Trump doesnt want to have to employ people he needs in countries where he doesnt have his fingers on the scales.
