H-1B visa row: Elon Musk takes strong stand amid right-wing backlash, says he will ‘go to war’ for it

Elon Musk, the billionaire founder of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, has waded into the contentious debate over the H-1B visa programme, which allows skilled immigrants, particularly from India, to work in the United States. Musk, a close ally of President-elect Donald Trump, has expressed his strong support for the visa, stating he would “go to war” on the issue.

His comments, made during a public discussion on Saturday, come amidst growing criticism from right-wing factions about the H-1B visa’s impact on US workers.
