Summary
Elon Musk faced backlash from his followers on X after advocating for importing “super talented engineers” to address a shortage in the U.S. tech industry.
Musk likened hiring top foreign talent to building a championship sports team and argues that there is a shortage of talented and motivated American engineers.
Critics argued there’s sufficient U.S. talent being overlooked or underpaid, with some pointing to widespread tech layoffs.
Musk dismissed claims of low wages or training gaps, maintaining a need for exceptional engineering talent to advance innovation.
My god, what a smug asshole.
I’d love to see this smarty pants trying to get by as an actual engineer, instead of a billionaire LARPing as one.
Would be fired day one on lack of interpersonal skills. And other skills for that matter.
Yeah, I’m quite sure he’s not a real engineer at all. Also, I’m sure his idea of “leet coding skillz” are total nonsense, too.
