I really don't agree with what you're saying here. Why do you automatically assume that every single one of these people is there unwillingly? Why would they pose for the camera with Elon with smiles on their faces? You want to claim that not only are they there unwillingly that they're lying to everyone about their emotions as well. They had the option of leaving the company with a 3 month severance pay.

And no H-1B is not the reason. You can find new jobs under an H-1B. You're not restricted to a single company and can change companies.

And why are they assuming they are H-1Bs in the first place, based on the photo? They can tell immigration status based on what exactly?
