>>510297057The biggest problem with the 'jeet thing' is the assumption (naive or intentionally deceptive) that all jeets are created equal, when the reality is, given the fraud in the system and the incentives to both export and import dumb slave labor, are both so high (because of the profit margins for the RIGHT people) that it's impossible that most H1B visas are being filled with the 'best of the best', there's just too much demand, not enough supply.
Elon is either naive or intentionally deceptive in this regard, I can't claim to know which. He's generally a long-term thinker with his space stuff, which makes me believe he's more discriminating in those fields, less so in the quick money-maker/gov subsidy stuff he has 'on the side' (Tesla), where he's more willing to pull in slop work for bigger profit margins.
But in general, yes, dropping the 'jeet thing' would help his little party, if it means culling the obvious scammer/slave labor jeet component... and appraise the actual competent portion of the labor pool honestly (still don't think it will be as good as Chinese or Eastern Euro tech labor, but I admit I don't have much experience with the upper tier Indian tech labor pool, just the lower tier garbage...)
Also I'm drunk right now, so disregard this post completely and/or refer any questions to my lawyer.
