Elon Musk said that the reason for moving Tesla from California to Texas was because it was more business friendly. Turns out it was all just a joke to him because he immediately replaced a sizeable amount of his workers with immigrants, something that he couldn’t do in California.
Elon Musk is pushing the narrative that H-1B visas are a vehicle to attract the best talent from across the globe to work in the United States. Musk likes to describe his presence in the United States as a function of this program working. However, Musk’s statement is disingenuous.
Musk didn’t come to the US on a H-1B visa. He came on a student visa, and later, his own brother admitted that they were illegal immigrants in the early days of launching their Zip2 startup in the United States.
It is well-documented that Musk has abused the H-1B system. Tesla workers have said that many employees let go in 2024 layoffs were more senior engineers with higher compensation and they have been replaced with junior engineers from foreign countries at lower pay.
