A netizen recently posted a chart online, illustrating the count of employees on H-1B visas working for various U.S. tech firms. According to this chart, Tesla employs 2,908 individuals on such visas. The netizen then called on Musk to consider cutting down the number of Tesla employees relying on H-1B visas. In a reply, Musk clarified that these employees are not recruited to cut costs. Instead, the company hires them to bring in exceptional talents with specialized expertise, a move that actually incurs high expenses. Moreover, he pointed out that among Tesla's 150,000 - strong workforce, the proportion of employees on H-1B visas is merely a small percentage.
