Wow, he really went to war on that one:

[-] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 38 points 6 days ago

You need an archive link, especially to an Elon Musk tweet. You and anyone else who wants to provide one, have about 30 minutes, or I'll have to remove it.

Oh, like you can't afford $100 grand a year? C'mon.

This is wrong for three reasons:

  1. He's a citizen
  2. It's not $100k/year, it's $100k per application, which are good for 6 years
  3. Paying $100k per new employee adds up, and it would probably be cheaper to relocate to another country

For 2, there was "confusion" as during the announcement they did literally say it was yearly, then came back and said it wasn't.

That was clarified a week ago. I work with several people on that visa, and I'm well aware of the panic. We'd be pretty screwed if they all had to pay $100k/year, because they're in pretty important positions.

Imagine having more money than an entire city and still being a dweeb who has to fall in line behind an old man

[-] D_C@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

An old man...that is so evil and inept that he bankrupted many casinos and raped children.

You know, I'm ok with people riding on other people's coattails, it's a way of life that's been done for centuries and centuries. However if a person chooses to stand behind a kiddie fiddling, casino bankrupting, woman assaulting, failed reality TV starring, felony having, blatant racist and convicted rapist then that person is almost as bad.

And in some ways it makes them a worse person. "Ok, I know this person did all this absolutely terrible shit...yet this is the guy I follow" is pretty much admitting you'd do the same shit. Or that you have done it, but you were so good at hiding it all that you won't get caught out. Or you are so useless that you won't get away with it so you won't try it, but you really want to.
The real tragedy is why these obvious drains on society are still alive.

[-] RagingRobot@lemmy.world 22 points 6 days ago

So if we had gotten rid of this a long time ago we wouldn't have to hear about that asshole all the time? Count me in

[-] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 25 points 6 days ago

No, he went to the US on a student visa and then illegally started a business

someone should call ICE about that African illegal immigrants

[-] ristoril_zip@lemmy.zip 12 points 6 days ago

I thought he was an illegal immigrant for a long time before he went through the process to naturalized. Didn't his brother say that?

[-] NigelFrobisher@aussie.zone 13 points 6 days ago

I was going to say they need to get out of there before ICE catch them until I saw the poster name, and now I hope that they do.

[-] WanderWisley@lemmy.world 18 points 6 days ago

Godspeed Captain ketamine o7

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

He was saying that last December. It's been nine months of him "going to war on this the likes of which we cannot comprehend"

[-] Aussiemandeus@aussie.zone 7 points 6 days ago

Yeah from what I've seen he's done nothing, but I just might not be able to comprehend what he's doing

[-] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Fool though you may be, never assume you are stupider than Elon Musk.

[-] orgrinrt@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

To be fair, he did warn that we couldn’t possibly comprehend this kind of war

[-] plz1@lemmy.world 16 points 6 days ago

He could afford to fill all his companies with H1B's, and pay the fees personally, and not even notice the cost. Also, wasn't he in the country by over-staying a student visa?

Really? Tesla has ~125k employees. If all of them were fresh H1Bs, that's $10B. Tesla's net income is ~$7B, so in year one, that would create a deficit. If spread over the 6 years of an H1B, that would represent a nearly $2B, and that's assuming everyone stuck around for the full 6 years.

Yes, he could afford it, but he'd certainly notice.

[-] plz1@lemmy.world 2 points 5 days ago
  1. They are not all fresh H1Bs or even a majority
  2. So?

He could afford to fill all his companies with H1B’s

I just showed the cost of doing that for one company.

My point is to show how these costs can add up.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

Where’s the bot farm constantly spamming him with this

[-] WorldsDumbestMan@lemmy.today 5 points 6 days ago

The Cheetah's are dinning on luxury meals tonight.

[-] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

Fuck musk fuck trump fuck em all

[-] OldChicoAle@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Wasn't he and his skidmark brother here illegally?

[-] PMmeTrebuchets@lemmy.zip 118 points 1 week ago

He said that then, what's he doing about it now? Haven't heard anything from that loser

[-] anomnom@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

Wasn’t he was lying then too? He came on a student visa to my understanding.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 73 points 1 week ago
[-] Lyra_Lycan@lemmy.blahaj.zone 67 points 1 week ago

Like he forgot about ending world hunger with US$21B

[-] bobs_monkey@lemmy.zip 28 points 1 week ago

That was probably before the prospect of him becoming the world's first trillionaire.

[-] sad_detective_man@sopuli.xyz 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

So he's going to do a bunch of ketamine about it.

[-] ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 52 points 1 week ago

So Elon is just quoting Tropic Thunder to sound tough now?

[-] MacAnus@sh.itjust.works 3 points 6 days ago

I just finished re watching it a minute ago. Then I get on Lemmy and see this!
Thanks for confirming it, what a coincidence ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[-] Almacca@aussie.zone 44 points 1 week ago

Insert "Watch out! We got a real badass over here." meme here

[-] humanspiral@lemmy.ca 40 points 1 week ago

Elon just went to UK telling white people there that they need to overthrow parliament now or the immigrants will kill them all.
