He’s pro H1B for cheap labor
Tried to tell Trumpers these guys hate them. Billionaires are your natural enemy. They’re predatory vampires and receive more government subsidies and support than anyone by far. The true welfare queens are billionaires. And they’re playing in your face and calling you lazy
It’s funny how they gut and destroy the education system and then complain that other countries are out pacing us in field that require *checks notes* a solid education.
If they really want to make America great again, why not invest in rebuilding our educational system?
Also, Immigrants! I thought we were keeping them out of this country.
The vast majority of humans are mediocre. BFD
ETA, **including the majority of engineers.**
exploiting young workers for a cheap pay ; this is the american dream for Musk
After 30 years of the GOP slamming college education, and more recently any formal education… this’ll go well.
This clown show is going to implode even before they disgrace our White House with their presence. Don’t forget, though, there’s a real paradox at play with these billionaires running the show. They might be citizens, officially, but they ain’t Americans. They are literally the globalists, the boogeymen (and women) MAGA hats feign fear of. When you are worth billions, you can practically purchase any asset, any person, any government in the world…your loyalty isn’t to any single country! It’s to the global market that keeps you filthy fucking rich and the kindred spirits that reside there. Period. Full stop. Trump voters sold out their country to real life globalists…an epic, epic self own. Delusional twits. Now they’re telling you how stupid you are to your face.
If the work ethic that gave rise to that culture wasn’t superior why flock to it only to proclaim your own superiority? Show me an Asian country that has “engineered” its way out of corruption and we can talk about how that alone is enough for success.
He’s not wrong, but the bigger part of the problem is a lack of investment in education at every level. That might even affect the “culture problem” he thinks is the cause.
This is just a lot of words to say he thinks they’re not exploiting workers enough in America
Meanwhile “Mediocre Americans” are the ones that voted these douchebags in. Good luck
Elon and Vivek, along with most other tech companies, have a hard on for H1B visas because, on a functional level, they’re basically slaves.
If you leave an H1B job, I think you’ve got 3 weeks to find a new job AND get your new employer to fill out all the paperwork, which is basically impossible.
Employees who either do what you tell them or get deported, and do it all for 30-40% below market rate wages.
Sounds like the Swamy is pissed that he was a nerd in high school and the Prom Queen wouldn’t look at him.
Tech bros not about America first and are really about money and themselves first? I’m shocked. Trump supporters are the most gullible of all groups.
Why is MAGA surprised? JD called MAGA low income, low education. Trump described MAGA as basement dwellers.
Losing the election is hard to take but watching MAGA being made fools of before inauguration provides humor
Even karma is getting a word in: we’ve got another pandemic brewing
Lol, dudes still haunted by his high school bullies.
Tell me you haven’t watched TV since 1994 without telling me…
Guy couldn’t hold my jock strap with the amount of work I do on a daily basis. American also keep doing jack shit and tell me I don’t work lol that’s great
Him and musk need to shut the fuck up .
Once again this has *nothing to do with economic collapse*
He’s referencing 90s sitcoms.
Worry about eliminating the 1000s of useless agencies before going on a racial stereotype rant.
He should be first to be fired.
Huh, it’s almost like billionaires don’t care about workers. I’m sure the money they save with cheap immigrant labor will trickle down to us soon, right?
OR, they can pay foreign workers less?
Hmmm. . .
So we will be investing in higher education to upskill the workforce? ….no…??.????……
Edit: so we are manufacturing the work force and importing to use in America. Will tariffs apply???
Saving this as a nerd, Vivek and Musk weren’t given enough wedgies.
Pragmatically I will say he’s not wrong – one of the core differences between our culture and countries that are outpacing us in the innovation category is how their society pushes their young to get solid educations and seek answers to everything. Our culture has absolutely strayed from that idea.
At the same time his best idea is to just replace everyone here with cheap labor from elsewhere instead of investing in fixing our education and societal foundations over time here. Can’t endorse that.
Leopards 👀😋
Faces 😱😰
if you disagree make the case that Americans promote studies and hard work over popularity and quick money or stfu.
I mean he’s not wrong about glorifying the jock over the valedictorian, that’s pretty spot on. But his party is planning to gut education to keep the voting populous dumb. So hard to imagine him coming up with an actual, ya know, solution.
He is still pissed off his mommy and daddy didn’t let him watch the TV show “friends”
