🚀 In a surprising alliance, former President Donald Trump has teamed up with tech billionaire Elon Musk over the hot-button issue of H-1B visas! 🤝
Trump, known for his tough stance on immigration, switched gears by voicing support for the H-1B visa program, which allows foreign tech talent to work in the U.S. 🇺🇸 He told The New York Post, \"I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I've been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times. It's a great program.\"
This comes after Musk, the mastermind behind Tesla and SpaceX, took to social media to defend the program, promising to go to \"war\" to protect it. ⚔️ The tech mogul, who himself once held an H-1B visa, is making waves by standing up for skilled immigrants seeking the American dream. 🌟
The debate ignited when far-right activists criticized Trump's pick of Sriram Krishnan, an Indian-American venture capitalist, as an AI advisor. They feared he might influence immigration policies in favor of more foreign workers. 🤔
Adding fuel to the fire, Steve Bannon, Trump's longtime confidante, slammed \"big tech oligarchs\" for backing the H-1B program, framing immigration as a threat to Western civilization. 😱
But Musk and his fellow tech leaders are drawing a line, highlighting the difference between legal immigration and illegal entry. They argue that welcoming skilled talent fuels innovation and keeps the U.S. ahead in the tech game. 🏆
With Trump and Musk on the same page, the conversation around immigration and jobs just got a whole lot more interesting. Stay tuned as this story unfolds! 🎬
