Yes, but Trump et al are pushing that model aggressively, to the extreme...

Musk's fortune is tied to Tesla's Shanghai factory. The Shanghai factory has replaced Tesla's plant in Fremont, Calif., as its largest and most productive, accounting for over half of the company's global deliveries and the bulk of its profits.
Plus new megapack plant to open in 2025-$200m build cost.
From Maddow last night. Tesla is a Chinese car company.

Elon Musk, who works like 4 hours a week, is lecturing people about their work ethic on Christmas Eve.

Musk has some sort of attention deficit. And does not quite get how the on paper parts of government work. So for him it is all Calvin Ball. You make the rules and the one with the ball can change the rules.

Also quote Elon: "If you can't shape a system, then you've already lost." He also argues against the consensus "common sense does not exist" and then immediately goes into the left-right paradigm without realizing that "left" and "right" only exist as functions of the consensus.
Here's 4 hours of last night's Elon rantings as Adrian Dittmann:

Autism Capital on X
So basically the right split into two factions, tech right and right right,
and the tech right is like "hey we need h-1b visa people to do the jobs,"
and the right right was like "no, you need to hire americans,"
and the tech right is like "but you guys are retarded,"
and the right right is like "well you don't train us,"
and the tech right is like "you can't outtrain being retarded,"
and while all this was going on we learned some people *really* don't like Indians.
someone collected that from

Bravo @olgalautman.bsky.social
"Is Elon Musk acting for himself or Putin?"
"Is he the Chaos Agent Fueling Russia’s War on Democracy"
"Musk’s actions mirror Russia’s playbook for destabilizing Western democracies & advancing its geopolitical goals"
Musk's growing influence in the U.S. is increasingly alarming as he works to solidify his position within the American political system. His efforts to undermine critical national security agencies are especially troubling given his access to U.S. government contracts and security clearance. By employing a strategy of strategic chaos, Musk’s actions seem to primarily benefit one key player: Russia. Moscow stands to gain from the erosion of Western democratic institutions and the global rise of the far-right.

Probably not assembly line folk. Why does not Musk just move it to Mexico? The US and foreign workers can just drive across the border daily.
Tesla has replaced some of its US employees who were let go as part of a big wave of layoffs earlier this year with foreign workers using H-1B visas, which CEO Elon Musk is now campaigning to increase.

Over the last week, Elon Musk has been promoting the increase of H-1B visas, which are used to bring foreign workers into the US for “specialty occupations.”

Do you think replacing all those "stupid" Americans with foreign workers will save the company money, not just with cheaper pay either, but with things like retention as well? What a coincidence!

Wait, wait, wait... Do you think opposing plans to loosen restrictions on H-1B visas will only hurt the consumer!? OMG, I bet it will, it will!
