I am a tech founder who is a strong Elon and Vivek supporter... But I have to disagree with Elon and Vivek here.

We already have special visas for really high IQ and talent individuals called O-1. H1- Bs are used to higher lower cost line workers like entry level accountants at McKinsey and junior developers. These individuals then have to work insane hours and can't quit and don't make as much money.

The H1-B is just a money grab by tech CEO's and big consultancies to increase their profit margins. We need to ban the H1-B.

Musk - Immigrants are bad, unless the oligarchs of Silicon Valley are using them to destroy the American middle class.

The H1B program will be used to destroy the entire tech industry with desperate and cheap labor from India.

University Graduates are not even given a chance, and I would discourage anyone from pursuing anything related to Programming and Development unless they have a Java Certificate or a degree from the University of Hyderabad.

Entire corporations are using Indian labor to replace American workers. Just visit any corporate campus across the US and it is evident.

Junk away....

Musk says China rocks. Musk says the Chinese are smart and hard working whereas Americans are complacent and entitled, especially Californians and New Yorkers:
