Breitbart: Elon Calms Down: Musk Calls for 'Major Reform' of 'Broken' H-1B Visa System Despite Fiery Defense
Elon Musk has shifted his position on the H-1B visa program, now advocating for major reforms after previously defending it. He described the current system as "broken" and suggested raising the minimum salary and adding annual costs to make hiring foreign workers more expensive than hiring Americans.
Musk's proposed changes could significantly impact U.S. companies that rely on H-1B workers, particularly in Silicon Valley. While he believes these reforms would prioritize American workers, they may face resistance from the tech industry and immigration advocates who view the program as essential for attracting global talent.

American credit card defaults have reached their highest levels since the 2008 financial crisis, with lenders writing off $46 billion in delinquent loans in the first three quarters of 2024, a 50% increase from last year. The bottom third of consumers are particularly affected, as their savings rate is currently zero.
