H-1B visa system ‘broken’, in need of ‘major reform’, says Elon Musk

Days after pledging to “go to war” in defence of the H-1B visa programme, tech billionaire Elon Musk has turned his sights on the system itself, labelling it “broken” and in need of “major reform.” The entrepreneur, who emigrated from South Africa to the US on an H-1B visa, suggested overhauling the scheme by significantly raising the minimum salary for visa holders and imposing an annual fee to maintain the visa.
