Every leader has a chink in his armor, and we're seeing them in both Musk and Trump.
Musk effectively answered the white hat question this past week, first by insulting the intelligence of those who see the debate differently, and then by de-platforming Lara Loomer on X. John Galt, he ain't, Folks.
Of course, Trump is personally satisfied w/ H-1B. It helped him to accumulate his great wealth. But if Trump wants to appear as less of a hypocrite and less out of touch than Musk, he's going to have to fall on his sword and abolish H-1B.
Do you see another way?

Their was a time when people were eager to move to California and even San Francisco.....
Now days,not so much.
