technically based on the way tesla stock is set up he was not yet been that exploitative, as his companies don't yet produce that many profits, but they are valued based on their expected future profits so for them to retain their value he need to make it seem like there is going to be a lot of future profits so the idea that in the future his wage costs will go down once they start using h1bs is something that will keep the stock price high, but if those plans don't pan out people might have to re-evaluate and judge his companies based on their current profitability. therefore it isn't actually the h1b-jeets that he need to hire to keep the stock price up, rather he just need to potential to rapidly increase profitability by having the h1b be an option for him in the future. therefore the fact that indians are bad workers isn't relevant as the work being done now can make up for it, it is just that on some later date he needs to be able to reduce labour costs and then coast from then on out in order to finally deliver profits. that the company won't be innovative after that isn't relevant as by that point the company will be about minimizing costs to reap the profits previous work did. if however it doesn't look like getting h1bs will be possible the stock price correction might be immediate so musk needs to make it look like he will always be able to eventually hire h1bs even if he doesn't at the moment, so convincing him that indians suck isn't actually going to help here because he doesn't need to actually deal with the crap work the indians will do in the future, he just needs to keep the stock price high enough and for long enough to cash out.
