“Elon Musk is wrong. The main function of the H-1B visa program is not to hire ‘the best and the brightest,’ but rather to replace good-paying American jobs with low-wage indentured servants from abroad. The cheaper the labor they hire, the more money the billionaires make,” he wrote.
In a three-page assertion, Sanders referred to as out companies for utilizing the H-1B visa program to put off 85,000 Individuals and to rent 34,000 overseas workers in 2022 and 2023.

Musk, who has been on the forefront of this MAGA civil conflict, has been publicly spiraling.
“Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend,” he wrote on X.
However as extra MAGA rage was directed at him, Musk referred to as for “a bit more positive, beautiful or informative content on this platform.”
Far-right activist and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer has come out in assist of Sanders, quoting his put up and including, “Bernie Sanders is RIGHT. Can’t believe I am saying this.”
Loomer, who referred to as Musk a “welfare queen,” mentioned that she doesn’t suppose “it’s acceptable for billionaires to have this much power and this much access.”
“What is it going to mean for the future of our country, our national security, and the incoming Trump administration if we have a bunch of technocrats, who are also essentially welfare queens because their companies are receiving government subsidies, and they want to take over our defense industry?” she continued.
After years of flip-flopping on the problem, Donald Trump not too long ago took Musk’s aspect, expressing his assist for the H-1B visa program.
Whereas Sanders and Loomer are actually unlikely allies, their unified stance in opposition to Musk on H-1B exhibits a possible bipartisan recognition that the present financial system disproportionately advantages the rich on the expense of the common American employee.
