Elon Musks Key Ally Blasts Trump’s H-1B Visa Hike: ‘They Made X Possible’

Following the acquisition of Elon Musk, an old senior executive who played a key role in the transition of Twitter and the re-branding of ‘X’ criticized the $ 100,000 fee that mainly affected Indian and other technology employees employed in the United States on the H-1B visas of former President Donald Trump.

Esther Crawford, Product Management Director at Twitter/X, also condemned the common anti -immigrant thought among many Americans.

He stressed that the survival of the platform has survived to a large extent thanks to engineers from India and China with H-1B visas. “They stayed after the purchase, worked for long hours, and brutally solved complex problems with their American colleagues, X said X.

“Remember when sending anti -immigrant purchases: These are the reason to tweet,” he added.

The Indians make up more than 70% of the existing H-1B visa holder, and Chinese citizens are about 12%.

Regarding the attitude of Elon Musk on the H-1B program, it has been silent since the announcement of high wages in new applications. However, based on past interpretations, it is unlikely that he will strongly oppose it despite his complex history with former president Trump.

Musk had previously supported the H-1B visa plan, but advocated the cost of increasing the cost by arguing that the system was “broken”. This view is compatible with the grounds that Trump’s program is often exploited and should be reserved for really high -skilled workers.

Considering that the average annual salary of H-1B owners is less than 100,000 dollars, the heavy one-time fee is expected to seriously affect the middle to long term. As a result, US companies may stop hiring foreign workers within the scope of this plan.

Alternatively, some companies can carry these jobs abroad. In this case, it will apply important taxes to the payments made to recruited companies and can be applied if approved.
