Summary

Senator Bernie Sanders criticized Elon Musk over his support for the H-1B visa program, calling it a tool for corporations to replace good-paying American jobs with lower-wage foreign labor.

Sanders cited data showing U.S. companies laid off 85,000 American workers between 2022 and 2023 while hiring 34,000 H-1B visa holders, arguing this undermines U.S. competitiveness.

Musk, who credits the visa program for his success, defended it, stating he’s ready to “go to war” over the issue.

The debate has divided MAGA conservatives, exposing rifts within Trump’s coalition.

    Bernie had his chance and so did the rest of the paid off Democrats

    gloves on both sides are off and even if Democrats magically win the next election nothing will change

    once Bernie dies someone else will be appointed to be the single nutjob that appears to be on the side of the citizens all for show
