Tesla, under Elon Musk’s leadership, replaced thousands of laid-off American workers with foreign employees on H-1B visas, according to reports from employees and data from the U.S. Department of Labor. The layoffs earlier this year affected approximately 15,000 U.S. workers, primarily in Tesla’s Texas and California operations.
Six suspected human smuggling incidents along the southwest border last week involved approximately 60 individuals and resulted in a tragic loss of life, according to the United States Coast Guard (USCG).
The U.S. attorney behind numerous prosecutions against those involved in the protest on January 6, 2021, announced that he will step down from his position.
Tesla CEO and X owner Elon Musk has reversed his stance on the H-1B visa program, now calling for a “major reform” of the system just days after defending it vigorously. Musk, who had previously clashed with former President Donald Trump’s supporters over the issue, now labels the H-1B system as “broken” and advocates for significant changes.
