Tesla Workers Say Musk Used H1B Visas To Replace Americans He Laid Off
Source: nationalmemo
Elon Musk's aggressive defense of the H1B visa program --which permits his companies Tesla and Spacex to bring engineers and other workers from overseas - has aroused fury among his erstwhile admirers on the far right. Despite his ongoing efforts to identify himself with the most extreme nationalists, xenophobes, and racists both here and across Europe, they suspect that the world's richest man is driven not by love of his adopted country, but by his lust for money.
Fresh evidence that Donald Trump's new best friend is motivated by greed rather than MAGA fervor has emerged via Electrek, a popular website that covers the electric vehicle and green energy industries (and has sometimes been accused of excessive solicitude for Musk and Tesla, or worse).
Electrekreported this week that after a massive wave of layoffs at Tesla last spring, the company replaced many of its higher-paid American employees with foreign workers holding H1B visas. In the wake of Musk's bruising online feud with other Trump allies - most prominently Steve Bannon and Laura Loomer - a number of whistleblowers reportedly showed up to expose the EV giant's alleged mistreatment of Americans working there.
