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?
I'm in IT and waking up a few days ago to this debate was the first time in my life I felt my career was going to end soon. My first job was AOL tech support and I worked my way up with school, certs, and experience just to get pushed out of this field. (as a woman, mind you.. Oh yeah I'll play that card)
My husband, also in IT, hasn't had much work the past few years. We hope that will change soon. But hell, we both are looking at our careers ending with this debate.
