Maybe this is a helpful clarification: I am referring to bringing in via legal immigration the top ~0.1% of engineering talent as being essential for America to keep winning.

Kaizen D. Asiedu@thatsKAIZEN· Dec 26, 2024@elonmusk People seem to be missing the fact that you’re asserting that it’s *elite* engineering talent that we have a shortage of in America.
Like .01-.001%
And if we don’t fill this shortage with immigrants in the short term, we will lose.

This is like bringing in the Jokic’s or Wemby’s of the world to help your whole team (which is mostly Americans!) win the NBA.
Thinking of America as a pro sports team that has been winning for a long time and wants to keep winning is the right mental construct.

I came to the US in 2014 on a H1-B, with several years of prior experience as a C/C++ programmer. A “skilled white European immigrant” as some seem to call it recently here. Over the years, I’ve had the chance to work alongside absolutely exceptional so-called “skilled Indian

Incredibly foolish and wrong statement. Apple pays extremely well. The expertise they need simply does not exist in America in sufficient quantity.

“Victory [for 𝕏] would be that the most far-right 10% and the most far-left 10% are equally upset.
I don't think this is a situation where you're going to get necessarily a lot of praise. You're just going to balance the anger.”

Yes, there's racism, but we talk about it more here, and it's even worse pretty much everywhere else
