H-1B is basically cheap corporate servitude, no wonder Musk likes it.
“Do as you’re told, or you’re deported.” Nope, no potential for corporate abuse there.
Can't forget "Burn through employees, and then deport them." Use and discard.
Gotta keep up the churn so the wages you’ve depressed with imported servants let you hire back for cheaper.
Muskrat is losing it and it's glorious
"I'll go to war to replace American workers with H1B indentured servants"
Musk might be rich, but he doesn't have a fucking military. And he's not "Have a Military" rich. Not one that can stand to the US military, anyways.
What a dunce.
To be fair, he is not saying "war" like "send a military to kill people".
It's a metaphorical war. He'll probably throw a fit and tell people to do a bunch of shitty stuff, fund terrible things, etc..
Hard to fight either from a k-hole.
Also Musk: "I fully support the German racists seeking to end immigration!"
Oh no! I thought calling someone else a racist, justified or not, was the very worstest thing you could do!
Is Elon infected with the WOKE MIND VIRUS?
No one believes he is standing up against racism while he is vocally and financially supporting the neo-Nazis AfD in Germany and Nigel Farage's racist far right in the UK, and working for and funding lifelong racist Donald Trump. Elon Musk's companies also have a known history of institutionalized racism. What he is taking a stand for is the ability to exploit and abuse cheap foreign employees by threatening them with deportation if they get out of line.
They always need to be at war with some element of American society. Since Dems are largely taking a break and waiting for the Find Out part of this disaster, they're going to have to quench their thirst by going to war with each other.
A racist calling those racist racist only makes them more racist.
Trump is not a billionaire!
He’s a con artist that likes to make people believe he’s a billionaire. Did you forget he barely made payments that he was court-ordered to pay? Even going as far as looking for people to pay it for him in return for favorable political treatment once he’s in office?
Pepperidge farm remembers.
Deny, Defend, Deport
Bannon is an accelerationist who believes in the inevitability of and is trying to bring about a race war.
I hate that Bannon has the right position on H-1B, but for very stupid and irrelevant reasons.
Broken clocks and all that.
Does he think Maga cares?
They're openly racist and are proud of it, Elmo buying Twitter was a large part of them feeling comfortable to go mask off.
Some do, just through a very different lens:
Steve Bannon, one of the longest-tenured voices in Trump's orbit, had multiple guests on his show this week to talk about his hardline anti-H-1B views.
Bannon tells Axios he helped kick off the debate with a now-viral Gettr post earlier this month calling out a lack of support for the Black and Hispanic communities in Big Tech.

I didn't make it all thru the video.
But when people like that say "college should have X% of minorities" they're not saying they're gonna help accomplish that. It's a dig that they're not and an implication that it's their fault.
They're definitely not talking about DEI.
But trump apparently saying if you graduate from a US college you get a green card....
That's not going to sit well with any Republican who wouldn't save money on labor costs.
Bannon and trump aren't the same entity. MAGA and trump aren't even the same.
If Republicans split over this, trump will try to stay out of it because he's a pussy. Elmo will head the b Oligarch half and someone like Bannon will try to capture the MAGA movement.
I suspect Trump will change try to sell Musk’s position to his base. He’s not really ideologically driven, he’s driven by what benefits him personally, and like it or not, selling sacks of excrement was Trump’s strength even before he got into politics.
He'll 100% drop MAGA, voters can't help him anymore, billionaires can.
And racists hate being dropped by someone more than they hate minorities. They're not gonna stop being racists because trump told them too. They're gonna focus all their anger on him for the switch.
We're gonna see more rightwing attempts on his life.
trump was never driving the MAGA base, it's a tsunami wave that he managed to surf for a while, but he could never control the wave, and he'll likely be pulled under by it and slammed against the shore.
I know how they think, the county I grew up voted 95% trump in the last three elections. I moved long ago, but I know how they think.
