Elon Musk's position on the H-1B visa program reflects a complex interplay of personal experience, corporate imperatives, and public statements that often appear contradictory. Musk himself entered the United States on an H-1B visa, a fact he credits with enabling his entrepreneurial journey and the growth of companies such as Tesla and SpaceX. While he openly praises the program for attracting critical talent from across the globe, he has also criticised its systemic flaws, calling it “broken” and advocating for reforms such as higher salary thresholds to prevent misuse and protect domestic workers. This nuanced stance places Musk at the center of a broader debate over immigration policy and its impact on the tech industry. (PC: AP)
