american engineers of the quality he needs go to work for saudi and european oil companies, because those kingdoms can't hire indian engineers to do work of high enough quality. elon wants to hire less qualified engineers, put them in a team led by one american he pays a decent rate to, and expect that guy to clean up after the cheap h1-b holders. the only reason elon bases his company in the us is because of defense contracts, otherwise he'd be in some other line of work.   > does musk have to do absolutely everything by himself? he needs to have skin in the game if he wants to enjoy what americans built, not rip us off while pretending to be patriotic. the same would be expected of him in any country he tries to base his business. maybe he tells himself "americans will thank me for giving their jobs and industry to foreigners once we're colonizing mars and there's twice as many colonization jobs... for me to give away again" fuck him and fuck you if you think we're dumb as boomers were. stop ripping off american workers at all levels.
