Defending the H-1B visa program, Elon Musk said on Monday that working for him “is a job no American would want. There is this myth that workers on H-1B visas will be taking away jobs from Americans. The truth is, the only people willing to work for me are foreigners with little to no access to information about me.” Explaining why foreign workers are uniquely suited for such employment, he added, “If you have to listen to me talk for extended periods, not knowing English is a huge asset. People who have worked for me are much like Donald Trump’s wives—67% have been foreign".
