I’ve been on H1-B briefly. The suggestion that anybody on H1-B is on a high tax bracket is false. I know people with 60k salary on H1-B.
There are also 2 groups: one are the international students with advanced degrees, but companies can sponsor employees from abroad without any advanced degrees from US universities. About 72% of H1-B visas are issued to one single country (India). A lot of them are hired by tech companies for cost reduction purposes since an employee from India will likely work on a lower salary.

You need far more engineers than you have. For that to happen, you need to invest in education. But that’s for communists.
We have plenty of engineers, and many that need work. I myself am trying to get an entry level dev role, but they seem to be very difficult to find.
I'm sure in many cases this is true. But in others it's just an excuse for billion dollar companies to pay less than you would have to for an American.

Just looking here and assuming it's true, you're telling me they can't find an entry level QA or a front end dev anywhere in the United States? That sounds like bullshit to me.

And I'm not at all saying end the program, I'm saying Musk is a lying piece of shit and wants to hoard more money from the American middle class.

One more thing: getting laid off on H1-B is yes worst thing that can happen to an employee. To have 60 days to transfer the visa (i.e. find another job) so you can imagine how submissive such employees are.

obviously the H-1B visa should be a thing for the very top talent but its also clearly not being used for just that, is being abused to hire cheap labor, and people who can't leave the company without getting deported.. Indian or not American workers should not have to compete with the rest of the world for jobs and housing.

Elon is obviously a liar as Tesla is one of the biggest abusers of the H1B
