There is currently a huge labor shortage in the united states, particularly for engineers and skilled craft and trades people. There's no fucking way they would be able to hire 10,000, let alone 500,000 people. Hell, my company has had two engineering positions open for 2 years and we have had zero applicants. Zero!
Everybody just wants to be retired or be a social media influencer these days, with that amazing side hustle as a door dasher.
It is a hard labor market, but we've been able to hire engineering positions. If you're not getting applicants, get a better recruiter.
The real issue is our backwards immigration system. We should be expanding immigration when labor is short, not talking about restrictions. If they wanted, they could lobby for better immigration with that $56B instead of giving it to someone who already has hundreds of billions.
Also, many Teslas aren't built in the US anyway, so there's not much stopping them from looking elsewhere for labor.
