This is the story of Erdal Arıkan, the father of 5G.
Erdal went to Caltech and MIT; he is a rare level genius, but because of visa issues, he had to go back to Turkey.
He solved a problem in information theory that radically transformed how data can be transferred. But because of visa issues, the US wasn't the benefactor of this genius.
The CCP recognized Erdal's talent and used it to leapfrog the United States in innovation in this area.
This gave the CCP a head start on 5G technology globally.
We are competing globally for the most talented people on this planet. We can attract the best and brightest on the planet while also pushing back against anyone that would abuse the H1B visa system for entry-level work.
There is a sweet spot we can achieve to make the US a global superpower, lift living standards for everyone in the US, and export those innovations to allied countries while also preventing our enemies from overtaking us.

Odd too since "Lips" Loomer was giving Donnie handies on the campaign trail while Melania was at home by the pool. She's effectively going against Trump by attacking Elon. Maybe it was just a bad breakup after the campaign ended or maybe she's exhibiting cracks in the unity of MAGA. Hopefully the latter. LOL

I like memes since many of our demented, poorly educated and/or plain stupid members can better understand pictures and a short phrase or two than they can comprehend facts detailed on reputable links such as Newsweek, AP or Reuters. It's best, IMO, to include some text comments along with the meme.Posting memes is not something that the left aspires to.

Your false bravado covers up a bitter and increasingly demented geezer too afraid of appearing wrong or stupid to admit it.
You cared enough to post this, dumbass:
It was Chris Jackson not Biden and, suddenly, you don't care. LOL

No surprise there. he's one of the bloodsucker, not a shock that he'd want to bring in more of them to destroy our culture. He wants Indians especially.Musk Is Trator Trash on H1B Issue.
Right-wingers turn on Elon Musk over his latest immigration stance
‘The mask is off.’

Billionaire Elon Musk is coming under fire from some right-wingers online over comments he made in support of H-1B visas, non-immigrant visas that allow employers to hire highly skilled foreign workers.
Featured Video
This visa program was established in 1991. Congress sets annual limits on the number of visas that will be issued. It’s currently set at 65,000.
Companies including Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and IBM are among those that employ thousands of foreign workers with H-1B visas.
Musk’s Tesla was one of the leading employers for foreign-born engineers and scientists in FY 2024, receiving 742 approved H-1B petitions—up from 328 in FY 2023 and 337 in FY 2022, according to Forbes.

Musk, who was born in South Africa, received an H-1B visa.
So while it might not be surprising that Musk is a fan of the visa program, his views diverge from many right-wingers, prompting online drama.
“The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low,” Musk wrote on Wednesday. “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.”
Pressed by one commenter about denying “real Americans that opportunity by bringing foreigners here,” Musk countered that the user’s “understanding of the situation is upside-down and backwards.”

“OF COURSE my companies and I would prefer to hire Americans and we DO, as that is MUCH easier than going through the incredibly painful and slow work visa process,” Musk said. “HOWEVER, there is a dire shortage of extremely talented and motivated engineers in America.”
“This is not about handing out opportunities from some magical hat. You don’t get it,” he continued. “This is blindingly obvious when looking at NBA teams, as the physical differences are so obvious to see. However, the MENTAL differences between humans are FAR bigger than the physical differences!!”
Musk’s comments in support of hiring foreign workers quickly sparked backlash from conservatives. Much of the commentary included presumptions about the race of the foreign workers to which Musk referred.
“We don’t want or need to turn this country into India,” reads one viral response to Musk’s post.

“America is not your sports team. It’s my home,” countered someone else.
“I used to have some faith in Elon, but after this post I’m done. The mask is off,” slammed one right-wing account. “Elon supports erasing the cultural and ethnic identity of America to help grow his bank account. He’s parasitic and destructive.”
“So why not try to get people from Europe?” replied another account. “Engineers here in northern Europe earn HALF of what US engineers do, yet you keep importing Indians instead.”
The discourse around H-1B visas had been brewing online since entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan was picked to serve as a senior policy adviser on artificial intelligence in the incoming Trump administration, prompting a wave of racist backlash.

“Did any of yall vote for this Indian to run America?” swiped one critic on Tuesday.
Far-right influencer Laura Loomer called the appointment “deeply disturbing,” pointing to a post from Krishnan calling for country-based immigration caps to be gone.
In another post responding to Musk agreeing with Krishnan, Loomer blasted, “How does it make sense to keep importing infinite foreign wage slaves who will further plummet the pay for STEM jobs in the US?”

I was hoping he wouldn't be dark Elon, but apparently that's his choice.
This is not a surprise. Musk's position has always been America should replace our blue collar citizens with foreigners(preferably white collar workers). That is the reason the Democrats wanted him gone. I was surprised the Republicans welcomed him with open arms.
The CR contained limits on AI tech exports to China, and Musk had that stripped out. On one level, it did not really belong there. It is not spending. But it was put there because everyone agreed it was important, and no one wanted to spend the time to get it passed in a separate act.
Now Musk will be free to give as much of our AI technology to China as he can get his hands on.
Nazi bitch is complaining that people want to get paid for their work. He wants them all to be his slaves.

you wanted him gone because he wouldn't censor x for you.
