  5. This is both funny and sad. It's funny because some people seem to completely miss how both Tesla and SpaceX have been hiring the top talent for a long time now and that's how they did a lot of things that many have said were not possible, and that's how the US is still the best in space technology and it has the best EVs. The sad thing is that the same people don't realize that just because they're Americans doesn't mean they should be hired for highly qualified jobs when they're not at the required level professionally. It's also sad that many people seem to not realize how the US is a huge mix of people coming from all over the world, and the only difference is that many US-born citizens come from immigrants who came to the US a longer while ago. So pulling a "my (great-)grandparents were here first" card is really ignorant. It's also sad that people react to this as if they're blind to what the education system produces in the US - a lot of young people unprepared to actually make America great again. You can't conjure highly competent people without taking time to fix education in the US. That must happen, and Trump will likely/hopefully do something about it. But to fix the so many broken things you need highly skilled people to execute, starting *now*. Pay great attention to what Elon said: "people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated". He gives zero hoots about random immigration, he doesn't support that. He wants the best of the best to solve really tough problems. Now if the Americans take that personally and don't see the great potential ahead, then they're complaining about sour grapes and they should grow up. Be competitive. Become super talented and super motivated. See how easy that is, then think again about what Elon said. By the way, it's not like it's easy to find millions of super talented people at the level SpaceX and Tesla need for highly complex jobs. So I wouldn't worry about an invasion. I get that you're sore about the current administration's border policies that caused so many issues by not carefully filtering the immigrants, but you're mistaking that for the kind of people Elon is talking about.

  9. The sad thing is that many Americans are too brainwashed to realize that, despite what Vivek really is like, he's not wrong about the US culture of mediocrity. Many of you are so used to being way too soft to kids, to throw participation trophies at everyone, to accept huge promises from politicians and settle for very little, to tolerate lack of accountability, etc, that it's damn near impossible to realize how bad things actually got. Education has gone downhill for a long time, to the extent that Americans gained a reputation for being stupid and/or uneducated. There are obviously plenty of hard workers, awesome people, but I'm talking about those who don't challenge themselves, those who don't challenge the system, those who needed the catastrophe of the Biden-Harris administration to finally say "wait a minute... we can't keep this up, or we're toast," and then vote for Trump. Despite the recent wake up call, nearly half of the voters wanted Kamala in the White House. You can't tell me that says good things about so many Americans, because that's a significant number. And mediocrity is not limited to democrat voters. The US forgot how to be great, and that's exactly why MAGA worked so well for Trump, because more and more people realize that the country did much better in the past and it's high time to actually be great again. H1B has been abused to death, of course, and it has to be fixed as fast as humanly possible. But Americans have to get used to the idea that they've been "educated" into this culture of mediocrity, and then you just have to get out of that hole. You can't get out if you insist you're not in that pit of mediocrity, as a nation. Looking at exceptions to deny the overall mediocrity doesn't help. Just zoom out and be brave to admit there's a lot of work ahead. It's been bad for at least 2 decades and DEI only made things (a lot) worse. Stop being too busy to be proud to be American, and admit to the problem you're having, so you can start fixing it.
