He can't use them at SpaceX because of National security concerns as SpaceX is a defense contractor.
There are already H1B holders working for Space X. This is publicly disclosed information. You can find it online easily. Not sure what point you’re trying to make.

You are correct. They have applied for 81 H1B applications since 2015. Oh noz!

There won't be a noticeable amount of workers from foreign countries to make a significant difference culturally. There will be more people from the Gulf (of America) region that benefit from the jobs here than anywhere else.
Engineering can be done anywhere. Real work is done by men in boots on the ground.

Louisiana has a ton of bright, hardworking people. Given the lack of opportunity here, a lot of them head out of state. That opens the door for Mississippi people, in some instances.
Aren't you from Bogalusa?

most of the crafted trades(Electrical, INST, Automation) offshore get filled by Mississippi folks from my experience. Gonna be hard to train the operators from South La on complex stuff that Space X will need.
Looks like someone has never worked in the industrial plants in South Louisiana.

Yeah. SpaceX chose Louisiana clearly for the intelligence of it’s citizenry.
Huntsville has a lot of import brains, but it raised opportunities for everyone.

I’m sure the craft guys are smart folk. Operators, not so much.

Ops get paid $175k to 200 the same as IEA. Both will get canned for being dumbasses. Lots of guys in Ops are college grads.

I've never been called a hayseed. Quite the contrary when it comes to culture. That is more of a redneck state term.

He filed for 742 new petitions in 2025, with a little over 1000 additional petitions for continued sponsorship. Forbes: Tesla Among Top H1B employers Were you trying to say he doesn’t hire H1Bs or something? Because if so, you’re in for a horrific awakening. There are already H1B holders working for Space X. This is publicly disclosed and you can see it for yourself with a simple search.
Between all of his companies he directly employs about 160,000 people.
SpaceX employs about 22,000.
He only employs about 1700 H1B’s?
Just at SpaceX? Or total?
