Tesla CEO Elon Musk has criticised the H-1B visa program, calling it “broken” after US President Donald Trump raised the annual fee to $100,000 for high-skilled workers. Musk’s stance has shifted over time: he previously defended the system, saying it helped build companies like Tesla and SpaceX. However, he later called for reforms, suggesting higher minimum salaries and annual fees to make hiring foreign workers more expensive than domestic talent. The visa hike affects many Indian tech professionals. Musk’s statements came as his old tweets defending and attacking the program went viral, sparking debate on H-1B reforms. (PC: India Today)
