Why Elon Musk has backpedalled on H-1B visa after MAGA fallout

India Today  

With MAGA tech-bros squaring off against the MAGA right in a heated brawl over H-1B visas and skilled immigration, President-elect Donald Trump's ally Elon Musk has deftly shifted his stance on the issue. Days after Tesla, X and SpaceX boss Musk said he "will go to war" backing the H-1B visa and asked right-wingers to "take a big step back", he mellowed down, saying the H-1B "program is broken and needs major reform". Musk's call for H-1B overhaul, though still supportive of the program, came in as far-right activist Laura Loomer on X put out data and said, "So you are telling me that USD 70,000 per year entry-level jobs are 0.1% level talent?" Musk had held that the H-1B visa was crucial for the American economy as it helped in recruiting "highly skilled" professionals.
