Crypto Tsar David Sacks posted on X: "Elon Musk said that the H-1B work visa should be completely reformed, focusing on outstanding talents in high-value fields, and scams and low-paying jobs should be ended. This is not to say that the differences have disappeared, but they are smaller than they initially seemed. It's time to unite and move forward." Note: The H-1B visa is a visa issued by the United States to people who work in professional and technical fields in the country. It is a non-immigrant visa and the main category of work visas in the United States. Earlier, US President-elect Trump told the New York Post on Saturday that he supports immigrant visas for high-tech workers. Speaking of H-1B visas on the phone, he said, "I have always liked visas, and I have always supported visas. That's why we have them." Although Trump imposed restrictions on visas, including H1-B, during his first term, his position seems to have changed. However, a few days ago, in a heated debate over immigration and work visas, the infighting between Elon Musk and Trump supporters quickly escalated. Musk on Friday liked a post on the social platform X about Americans being "unqualified" to fill jobs in the tech sector and advocating for "better educated people" from overseas to take key positions, a comment that sparked a backlash among MAGA (Make America Great Again) supporters.
Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American biotech tycoon who will co-manage the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) with Musk, also posted earlier this week that he believed the lack of American-born engineers in the job market was due to American culture "long-standing advocacy of mediocrity over excellence," sparking criticism from MAGA supporters.
