Basically, it looks like Elon is letting his mask slip at bit with his recent tweets. It appears that he and others like him are calling for a reform to the H1B Visa program that would basically flood the Software Developer market with workers.
We already have a surplus of domestic workers compared to job market. There is ZERO reason for reform. If anything, the reform should be to put a freeze on the program for a few years until the job market can equalize.
I realize that outsourcing is another issue altogether. But everything they are saying right now indicates what they are probably going to push the new administration to reform H1Bs.
I realize people feel powerless, but if people mass called their representative about this it can make a difference. The key thing is to call. Staffers know emailing takes zero effort and they put that low on the something to consider. Someone calling is someone motivated to vote them out and to get others to vote them out as well.
That is how the recent budget bill was cancelled. A bunch of people called their representatives to complain about it. We can do the same with this.
If they manage to uncap the H1B program or make it worse than it already is, you may as well consider a new field at that point.
Not only will it be near impossible to get a job, but the wage suppression and demands employers will be able to demand will be insane.
This is a huge deal. People should be doing everything they can to prevent this from happening.
