PMCThe professional managerial class is just the most advanced section of wage workers and the primary reason Porky is shafting them is because they RESENT the fact that a subsection of workers, due to the their advanced skill or education, have an increased level of independence.
In the recent debate with the far right over the h1b issue on twitter/x, musk said:
>“There is a permanent shortage of excellent engineering talent. It is the fundamental limiting factor in Silicon Valley,” Musk said on X on Christmas Day. “The number of people who are super talented engineers AND super motivated in the USA is far too low,” Musk said in another post.Now, it seems to me that what he means by "super motivated" is complying with his unreasonable work demands, and visa holders are much more likely to do so out of fear (of being fired and thus DEPORTED). Musk and his fellow tech titans seem to really resent the relatively high level of bargaining power and independence that skilled professionals have due to their high level of skill and education.
Its no accident that tech-porkies, who rely on these types of workers the most, are the most reactionary and you can see that they have significant government influence (the "tech bro" right). They are waging a brutal class war.
When Musk says "super motivated," he really means "willing to work 80+ hours a week without complaining." And H-1B holders, by design, have no real leverage to push back. H-1B workers are tied to their employers. If they get fired, they have 60 days to find a new job or get deported. That means long hours, no complaints, and low risk of quitting. Musk and other execs hate worker autonomy. If you’re a highly skilled engineer who can walk away and get another six-figure job easily, you won’t put up with unreasonable demands. H-1Bs function as a corporate leash, they allow companies to keep a portion of their workforce permanently dependent. That’s why firms like Google, Meta, and Amazon push so hard for H-1B expansions-not just for talent, but to erode the bargaining power of the wider workforce.
What we’re seeing is a class struggle between professionals and the Capitalist Class—the engineers, developers, and other skilled professionals who actually build and maintain technology versus the executives and investors who ext
