We’ve known for some time now that Twitter and Tesla CEO Elon Musk is a whiny manbaby who thinks he’s the most brilliant and incisive person on Earth.
The truth, however, is that Musk is little more than an online troll who happens to own a social media platform that allows him to spew his often moronic and frequently bigoted rants for millions of people to see.
Most recently, Musk set off a firestorm of debate when he suggested that the United States needs to allow more engineers to enter the country so they can help high-tech companies grow.
“The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low,” Musk posted on Twitter. “Think of this like a pro sports team: if you want your TEAM to win the championship, you need to recruit top talent wherever they may be. That enables the whole TEAM to win.”
Specifically, Musk is calling for more H1-B visas, which the U.S. Department of Labor defines this way:
“The H-1B program applies to employers seeking to hire nonimmigrant aliens as workers in specialty occupations or as fashion models of distinguished merit and ability. A specialty occupation is one that requires the application of a body of highly specialized knowledge and the attainment of at least a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent. The intent of the H-1B provisions is to help employers who cannot otherwise obtain needed business skills and abilities from the U.S. workforce by authorizing the temporary employment of qualified individuals who are not otherwise authorized to work in the United States.”
After posting that online, Musk was pilloried by many on the right, with some claiming that no foreign worker should be hired when we have plenty of Americans who need jobs. Of course, the problem with such an assertion is that the U.S. simply doesn’t produce enough engineers to meet the increasing demand, especially for the growing internet and high-tech fields.
For example, consider this clapback to Musk’s calls for more immigrant engineers:
Those criticisms clearly struck a nerve with Musk, and he lashed out angrily.
“The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B. Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot possibly comprehend.”
In other words, if anyone is going to dare disagree with Elon, he will simply set them on fire by using the social media site he owns and controls.
Meanwhile, Musk will be hidden away in his private bunker, taking megadoses of ketamine and surrounding himself with employees who tell him every five minutes that he’s the most brilliant man ever born.
If anyone needs to fuck themselves in the face, it’s Elon Musk. Then again, considering how much he loves himself, he probably does that at least twice an hour because it’s his only source of solace.
