Elon Musk Says Americans Are Too ‘Retarded’ for Tech Jobs, Censors Critics

Elon Musk spent Christmas shilling for mass immigration from India, denigrating Americans as too “retarded” to work in tech, then crying and censoring people for pushing back against him.
On Christmas day, Musk suggested America needs to “double” the number of “high-skilled” immigrants we bring in through H-1B visas.
There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent. It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley.

Remarkably, he got ratioed on his own site by a small user who said that their son who graduated with honors with electrical and computer engineering degrees in 2023 “can not get an interview, let alone a job” and “any white male he knew in college can’t get jobs either.”
Amid the tremendous pushback Musk was facing from the right, his DOGE partner Vivek Ramaswamy came to his defense with a screed attacking Americans as a bunch of mediocre dullards raised on 90s sitcoms who can’t hold a candle to his brilliant fellow Indians.
“The reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born & first-generation engineers over ‘native’ Americans isn’t because of an innate American IQ deficit (a lazy & wrong explanation),” Ramaswamy said. “A key part of it comes down to the c-word: culture.”
“Our American culture has venerated mediocrity over excellence for way too long (at least since the 90s and likely longer),” he continued. “A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad champ, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers.”

Ramaswamy added:
A culture that venerates Cory from ‘Boy Meets World,’ or Zach & Slater over Screech in ‘Saved by the Bell,’ or ‘Stefan’ over Steve Urkel in ‘Family Matters,’ will not produce the best engineers.
(Fact: I know *multiple* sets of immigrant parents in the 90s who actively limited how much their kids could watch those TV shows precisely because they promoted mediocrity…and their kids went on to become wildly successful STEM graduates).
“Vivek Ramaswamy shares with us painful memories of his being cheated out of his rightful status as the most popular boy in high school in Ohio,” Steve Sailer commented. “America needs a culture where the spelling bee champ gets the hot blonde girls!”
