I'm so glad we finally got rid of the flip floppers. /s
Every time Elon and hb-1 visas are mentioned this:

Should be pinned as the top post
Who knew immigration could be so complicated!
- Tbf, I think people are actually over complicating it, and that’s why we have so many issues.
  
  Possibly. Im not knowledgeable enough to really know. I was just using Trump's "who knew healthcare was so complicated" quote.
  
  People do job.
  People don’t do job.
  Can’t explain that.
oh my god he's so desperate. how do people like him? he's the dumbest, weirdest, fugliest, most rizzless, useless, jobless, maidenless troglodyte to ever walk the earth. literally if only he was not born to beneficiaries of slave labor no one would piss on him if he was on fire. unbelievable.
Time to backpedal, talk out of both sides of the mouth, and pretending it's all in generic terms, so that he's totally on board with what MAGA wants, just like those good times before the election.
They are still planning to deport all the immigrants, just not the ones taking good paying jobs. Empties trash? Jose is gone, jimmy your up. Wipes down tables at restaurants? Quadalupe you deported we giving this job to Rob. But good paying engineer jobs??? GET ME MY IMMIGRANTS!!!!
- Crucially they will want to make it as easy as possible to deport even H1B holders , so that their employers can wield even more power over them. That will make them even more desirable as workers over Americans.
- Well yea, why pay an American $200K/year at your San Francisco when you can import 2 H1B's for the same price working remotely from your "St. Louis, remote" office?
  /s, in case that isn't obvious.
  
  My former employer doesn't bother with H1-B. They just have them work via remote desktop from India and claim that all software is developed in the USA.
Well look who underestimated the gullibility of the mob!
Or…
Well look who shocked the people who didn’t vote for Trump by how dumb they’re not!
Ofc they’re gonna do all this shit anyway, b/c the King don’t care what the poors want.
- Musk just needs someone to take a shot at him and maybe he will snap out of his “this is a simulation” bullshit and come back to earth.
  
  It's way too late for that. True Believers like Musk don't just think it's a simulation, they think they're the main thing being simulated and the rest of us are NPCs, which is why it's just fine to treat us all like dogshit. If he survived an assassination attempt, that would only prove it to him.
I never bought into the Elon hype. I just don't get it.
- there's nothing in it really
