Just going to point out that if anyone knows about tech talent and who “ain’t got it” it would be Elon. Him pointing out that we have a talent shortage shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who has been paying attention to the subpar education system and the types of workers that are being cranked out. There is a very serious decline in work ethic in this country.
And in the meantime? Why not bring in the very best talent, those that want to become citizens and train up Americans at the same time? We lose out when we don’t have a competitive edge.
Only with a large Trump style tariff on that "talent". If we aren't going to allow other countries to undercut our products with cheap imitations then the same applies to workers.
Why would talented workers want to come here only to be docked because of their country of origin. I don’t think y’all get what Vivek and Elon are saying. There is a shortage of talented tech. Why is that? Because of our failed education system and lack of work ethic. You can’t fix that overnight. You can’t take a workforce that can’t do college algebra, can’t understand basic physics concepts, believe climate change is real, and turn them into tech nerds overnight. Be pissed off about the hard truth, but it’s our fault, we let this bullshit happen and now we are going to have to deal with the consequences.

True, but that isn't a reason to replace us. Let's try fixing education first.

Exactly.
