President-elect Donald Trump voiced support for the H-1B visa program, aligning with tech billionaire Elon Musk amid controversy. Musk, a former H-1B holder and advocate for skilled immigration, defended the program after criticism from far-right activists over Trump’s selection of Indian-American Sriram Krishnan as an AI adviser. While Trump previously restricted H-1B visas during his presidency, he now praises the program, citing his own use of it in business. Critics like Steve Bannon argue the program threatens Western civilization, but Musk and other tech leaders distinguish between legal and illegal immigration.
