    "Dire shortage": Elon Musk sparks MAGA backlash after calling for more immigrant workers

    Hillarious... Musk tweeted that he needs more immigrant workers to fill jobs and defends hiring them ... makes me wonder, if Elon needs more immigrants to fill jobs, then maybe -- just maybe -- other companies have the same problem ... ya think? Maybe -- just maybe -- that's why Dotard's idea of deporting everyone isn't exactly smart...

    This clown show hasn't even started yet, it's going to be a fun ride.

    Just his kind of immigrants though. Drive down the cost of his skilled labor and tech teams while displacing or underpaying existing workers

    Lol at the abject ignorance.

    Visas for tech workers...vs *ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS*, f/k/a *illegal aliens*.

    Wow. Epic faceplant.

    Embarrassingly stupid take.

    The solution is to allow more immigrant workers across the spectrum and make it easier for workers to come here legally ... Elon wants immigrant tech workers because he runs a tech company. Farmers want immigrant fruit pickers because they run farms. Restaurant owners want immigrant dishwashers because they run restaurants. Whatever justifications Elon can use to hire immigrants over Americans can be used by any industry, especially if "we just need people who will do the job" is all he's got. This isn't hard to figure out, try harder.

    Its all about being willing to work 90 hours a week. that's what he demands

    Musk supporters outraged after he backs importing 'super talented engineers'

    "The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low," he wrote. "Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be. That enables the whole TEAM to win."

    This drew some objections from some of Musk's own followers who argued that Silicon Valley wasn't doing enough to hire native-born American engineers.

    Now Elon is telling (white) Americans they're too dumb to work at SpaceX and Tesla. MAGA white dudes haven't been told they're dumb by one of their idols before. And Elon is lying about why he's hiring Asians on slave visas; instead of telling the truth ("they'll work for less, take more of my shit and worship me in the halls of my businesses"), he basically said "I prefer immigrants because (white) Americans are stupid."

    No sir, MAGA folks don't like that one bit. They will definitely turn on him.

    Should be interesting to watch this play out over the next couple of years.

    You turn your party into the socialist workers party that is openly anti-competition & this is the reaction you get.

    this too makes China happy

    A situation that occurred over a decade ago comes immediately to mind when Disney forced its American IT workers to train their Indian replacements.

    There is no “co president”? Only president Musk.

    I bet JD Vance feels like a scorned lover at this point.

    I wouldn't completely count JD out of the picture. Trump is so unhinged that it wouldn't surprise me if Vance led a revolt by other former Trump loyalists and tried to invoke the 25th Amendment. Although it's somewhat of a cliché there is no honor among thieves. It's also not beyond the realm of possibility that Trump could get tired of playing president and end up resigning in exchange for a Nixon style blanket pardon.

    And this is what you get when you elect clowns who are beholden to a so-called "genius" who "bought" the propaganda machine for the madman holding the strings: a clusterfuck rapidly spinning out of control that no one will be able to stop.

    Let's face it - MAGA has turned us into a suicidal death cult circus full of juggalos on crack.

    There are no ringleaders, just a bunch of craven, greedy, power-hungry MAGA backstabbers seeing who can set records for sticking the most knives in each other's backs before the inauguration. Then we will switch over to a speed round of Russian roulette to last man standing - which will be Putin at this rate...

    And to think all those years we had literacy tests, poll taxes, etc. to keep minorities from voting!

    Turns out what we needed was an IQ test - because this is exactly what you get when you feed dumb people propaganda and politically activate them - a complete shitshow of epic proportions.

    Politically active morons who will vote not only against the own interests, but against EVERYONE'S interests because the blue pill flavored Kool-Aid just tastes so damn good to them.

    25th amendment could be invoked now as well
