Summary
Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Elon Musk over his support for the H-1B visa program, calling it a tool for corporations to replace good-paying American jobs with lower-wage foreign labor.
Sanders cited data showing U.S. companies laid off 85,000 American workers between 2022 and 2023 while hiring 34,000 H-1B visa holders, arguing this undermines U.S. competitiveness.
Musk, who credits the visa program for his success, defended it, stating he’s ready to “go to war” over the issue.
The debate has divided MAGA conservatives, exposing rifts within Trump’s coalition.
No Bernie let them fight. “Never Interfere With an Enemy While He’s in the Process of Destroying Himself.”
Oh he’s absolutely letting them fight, he’s just stoking them up more playing into the big issue splitting the republican party in two.
Strong disagree. Keep them riled up. Make sure musk isn’t able to distract them.
I think the expression is “Don’t interrupt your enemy when he’s making a mistake.”
