Musk and Ramaswamy draw MAGA's ire for supporting foreign workers
Kyiv • UNN
Elon Musk has stated the need to attract foreign specialists to technology companies due to the lack of local talent. This drew criticism from far-right activist Laura Loomer and supporters of the MAGA movement.
If you want to win, you need to attract the best talent - Tech brothers Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy say big tech needs foreign workers, but a far-right activist criticizes their comments.
Reported by UNN with reference to The Independent and Rolling Stone.
Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy argue that large tech companies are in desperate need of foreign workers.
In particular, on Wednesday, Musk said on his page on the social network X that Silicon Valley firms need foreign workers because America lacks “super-motivated” and “super-talented engineers.
This causes controversy among MAGA members (Make America Great Again is a campaign slogan used in American politics by Donald Trump). Laura Loomer, who is still being described in the media as a “proud Islamophobe,” threatens to tell MAGA to “stay home” during the next midterm elections.
Loomer went on a multi-day social media tirade over President-elect Donald Trump's recent appointment of Indian-American entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan as a senior advisor on artificial intelligence.
Regarding Musk and Ramaswamy's statements, Laura Loomer said that Musk “bought (his) way into MAGA just 5 minutes ago.” According to her, Musk and his “big tech friends” are trying to “infiltrate” the Trump White House, despite the fact that they oppose “MAGA's immigration policies.
Loomer added: “You are still not our president. The real president knows that H1B visas are bad for America, and the real president is from this country.
