By Jason Scott Jones, The Stream - But when it comes to the impact of immigration on society, Musk isn’t always consistent. He threatened to “go to war” over the issue of expanding H1B visas that tech companies use to extract cheap labor from indentured foreign workers. And here Musk profits directly. According to the National Memo and Electrek magazine: “Over the last few days, several current and former Tesla workers reached out to Electrek to reveal that Tesla ramped up its use of H-1B visas to replace US workers it let go during a wave of layoffs earlier this year,” according to a story by its editor-in-chief, Fred Lambert, that led the website on December 30... Last April, Electrek reported that Tesla dismissed about 15,000 US employees, mostly in Texas and California – but then the company moved to fill those same jobs with imported labor at lower cost.
