I work in tech and the weirdest thing about the "we need to import talent because we need it NOW, we don't have time to train American talent" is the fact that when I log into LinkedIn, 80% of posts I see are from tech workers looking for jobs. We are now entering year 2 of tech layoffs. These people are highly skilled, and domestic workers, so why would you need to import anyone? There's skilled tech workers who have been looking for a gig for multiple months at this point. I don't remember this EVER being the case since the tech bubble burst of the late 90s.
The question is rhetorical, but I am surprised no one is calling Musk & Co on this.
