This blog has been unequivocally pro-legal immigration.
In December, Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy went on a tirade claiming Americans are lazy, dumb and uneducated – and immigrants are smarter and harder working. Must went even further, name calling Americans as “retards” and “subtards”.
This did not go over well with much of anyone – except some surprisingly ungrateful immigrants who piled on in agreement.
Their comments have backfired – Musk himself has started to back pedal – particularly when people pointed out that SpaceX hires only U.S. citizens – and is a successful business – while Tesla hires many H-1B imported workers and pays them poorly – meaning they are probably not the “best and the brightest top 1%”, as claimed.
As I have made clear on this blog, I am not supportive of the “Bash America” crowd prevalent at Business Insider, CNBC, HuffPost and others, particularly among the privileged elite freelance writers who have left the country. Now we have tech titans piling on to the same meme. This is wrong.
Musk and Ramaswamy rude to Americans, Musk says Americans are “retarded” – Coldstreams
