    “H-1B crackdown”? They wanted more H-1B people because it’s essentially slave labor, especially now that deportations are ramped up.

    If it weren’t for H-1B, Musk would have been left with no staff for Twitter.

    This is some weird doublespeak because make no mistake, Trump and Musk are only going to try to increase H-1B labor.
