#Ramaswamy #Republicans #Vivek
Our American culture has venerated wealth over morality and humanity.
There, I fixed it.
I would add originality, creativity and individuality and soul...
True
Naive, but not wrong
Sikhs and Black People tried to warn America but you all would listens. Again. Hindu Indians see to rest of humanity as their inferiors. Do not take my word for it, look it up for yourself. Gandhi was no angel.
I was taught at school that the phrase "American culture" is an oxymoron. 🙄
Funny how Viv didn't share his thoughts on this during the campaign
Funny how you weren't listening, Vivek has always been honest about how weak this country has become.
@@stitch438exactly! Im MAGA and its a fact

Silicon Valley doesn't want to PAY qualified American IT people. This happened to my qualified, hard working friend in IT. In the past 10 years, they hired someone from overseas cheaper and less experienced than her. A few times they stole her ideas from her interviews too.
That's a lie.
@@HeyMane555 Obviously she was after they hired someone for half her salary to implement her ideas. If they were unemployable ideas, why did they steal them? 🤷♀️
@@KaregaMcCoy Where's the lie? Real person who I watched go through this in real time.
@@etherealtb6021 There's a reason they're going overseas for your job. Simply put, it's because you aren't doing it well. Because if a person off shore can do your job for cheaper then it's an irrelevant job that is overpriced.
Fake bot spotted
Has Vivek ever met the Trump family?
I'm sure he has, have you?
@@SignatureServices-uz2df It is a rhetorical question and joke. Are you one of those uneducated Trump supporters Vivek is referring to? Trump and republicans want to keep you dumb so you will vote for them while they give the jobs to educated foreigners, cuz those people can't vote. Ha ha!

As a female in tech since 1980, I saw how people were deterred from going into the tech field because it was flooded with lower paid H1-B workers. There was not enough incentive for US students. Not mysterious cause and affect.
Lower-paid H1B Workers??? Is more than $100K low-pay for you? Having said this, US students are not pursuing STEM fields.
Cause and effect.
Whatever the visa earners are getting paid, you can earn that amount much more easily with the advantages you have as an American (assuming you are one based on your comment)
Yes , there was so much incentive to do history , women's studies and music appreciation.😂 And that is why students chose them over STEM. 😂😂
Thank you for this info
Republicans want their own version of DEI. Imagine that.
😂😂😂
literally
It doesn’t qualify as anything like DEI. It’s nothing of the sort.
So you are against DEI?
Yup. We think hiring should be based on the highest qualifications, not race and gender.
They hire foreign labor because it’s cheaper. I manage someone in Romania and their salary is unbelievably low for work an American would need 2x-3x more to do.

@@mattrinker2947 That is not true, There are 4 levels of salary for every soc job code. Trump has recommended Level 3 and 4 salary. If the job requirement is met a local will be hired for sure. For example 11-3021.00 - Computer and Information Systems Managers for Atlanta. Getting 170 to 250k is the range for this position in USA nowadays
Misinformation. Not True, H1B on an average make more than $100K.

Vivek knows that importing tech workers from India saves 60% or more vs. hiring a domestic american worker for the same position. He will invent whatever fantasy neccesery to bring in labor at that pay rate.
You think American corporations became so wealthy because they paid fair compensation and enriched their society? 😂😂😂
Importing workers to do job at low or no wages is the MOST American thing in history. 😂
It’s also more insidious than that, he’s a Hindu guy looking out for Hindu interests over American interests.
@@sleepycrusader8871I agree with you. What happened to AMERICA FIRST. Indian nationals want to take over America just like they did in Canada, Saudi Arabia, Australia and other countries. India nationals are the most populated races in Canada. We visited Vancouver BC in July 2023 and Toronto last June 2024. We thought we were in India as soon as we landed at Vancouver BC and Toronto International Airports. Most of the TSA and airport personnel are Indian nationals. Some TSA workers are not speaking English but speaking their language among themselves while we were checking in our luggage. You see them all over the cities too.
Vivek and Elon are claiming the workers are for highly sought after skills (top 0.1%) but I think that's just the cover story because they haven't detailed what those positions are exactly...
Good to see that people who were so Pro immigration/ illegal immigrant are now turning against it and being Pro American. That's all Trump wanted
Vivek has been saying this stuff for years. He was just incredibly anti-black, so the Maga crowd missed it OR ignored it because they didn't feel it applied to them. Vivek's anti-blackness has now blown up in the Maga crowd's face.
😂 this is hilarious.
Bingo, here’s a bag of popcorn for you 🍿.
Facts 💯
And I’m loving every minute of it. We tried to tell him and people like him 😅
FACTS!
What a joke. Trump is literally elected by the jocks who peaked in high school. He's biting the hand that feeds him
Why do you think that is a problem? Sounds like a Bigoted comment to me.
@@richardleirerVivek made that statement. Vivek said the jock stuff. He was being bigited.
@@Mr50403 Obviously you do not understand what the word means. Vivek said nothing about jocks in degenerative way . He wrote about a culture that "'venerated mediocrity". Scientist commenter said "What a joke. Trump is literally elected by the jocks who peaked in high school." I asked why do you think that is a problem? It was this commenter who is denigrating Jocks, not Vivek. Hmmm, not that difficult to understand. Specifically he said " the culture that celebrates ... the jock over the valedictorian , will not produce the best engineers. What part of this is not true, and how is it an attack on anyone?
@@richardleirer The bit about valuing the jock over the valedictorian is literally in the tweet that Vivek made (0:38). Try to keep up.

So Ramawamy prefer excellence over mediocrity, and hard work over laziness. But still think Trump is a great choice for president. You know Ramawamy it is a glitch here somewhere
And you actually thought Kamala and Timpon represent excellence and hard work? 😂
What, in your opinion, was Kamala's single greatest accomplishment as VP that would justify a promotion?
If Trump wants to deport immigrants, he can start with Ramaswamy and Kash Patel. As to Kamala and Tim, they worked themselves up to where they are. Not handed everything to them like Trump.
@@spikefivefivefive Perhaps what she didn't do is the more appropriate question. She didn't call Georgia's Sec. of State and pressure him into manufacturing another 11,780 votes so she could attempt to steal Georgia's electoral votes. She did not instigate a seditious insurrection against the duly elected US government and sat by doing nothing metaphorically letting Rome burn while blaming her nefarious actions on others like orange Sleazy Jeszy did. She did not scheme to replace the legitimate state electors with fake ones/imposters, nor threaten any government official to reject the votes of the actual electors and accept the fake ones so there would be controversy leading to the Congress to select the GOP candidate as the winner instead of honoring the will of the majority. She did not give windfall tax cuts to the richest of the rich while running up a record $8 trillion in additional federal debt in just four years with not a stitch of infrastructure or anything else to make the nation greater which devalued our currency leading to the inflation that followed. She and Biden did have to struggle over inflation as the inflationary tax cuts for the rich remained in effect throughout their administration because republicans refused to return to fiscal responsibility and rescind them. Now Sleazy promises more of the same while insulting our trade partners and neighbors so he can isolate and oppress the American people to himself like a possessive husband lording over an overly submissive wife and making the world a much more dangerous place than it is already.
@@spikefivefivefiveMAGA is far more stupid than I thought!! You deflecting on the topic that Elon and Vivek wants to bring in more immigrants that MAGA wanted to get rid of?! More "Brown" workers to take the American jobs that MAGA wanted to keep 🤦🏾 Make it make sense MAGA!
@@spikefivefivefive seriously, its not like the democrats were pumping great candidates to choose from. My choice Harris, a woman who has accomplished nothing and can't articulate anything with Tim Walz (no comment) Who were we supposed to pick?
I have been an engineer for 15 yrs. I have worked for fortune 500 companies and startups. I have even recruited at colleges. Thousands of STEM professional graduate each semester. Thousands are laid off by fortune 500 companies every year as those jobs are sent overseas. We do not have a STEM professional shortage shortage.
@@ThinkRight2024 no its not spam... its people in STEM all seeing the same thing, and calling out Vivek's lies.

😮 modern day slavery, this just never STOPS.
If that is your thinking, there will be no jobs exist at all for Americans First in the 1st place. The standards and wages have to go down if United States has to compete with East Asia. The only reason why these IT jobs still exist in the United States is because there are H1-B workers available to work at lower wages in the United States. If H1-B job workers are not available to work at a lower wage in the United States, the entire sector and their industries will move towards East Asia which will cripple United States in the long run.
@vik56in sure, that's a well established macroeconomics concept... But, ppl fail to realize offshore jobs "need" the American economy. Without decent paying American jobs or without Ametican jobs as you suggest, there will be no jobs elsewhere.
Trump, Eric and Don Jr. are not the brightest bulbs in the Republican Party.
Unlike Kackles Kamala and Tampon Tim and Dementia Joe Biden?
Thankfully they have enough money to pay someone to think for them!
They're DEI hires.
And yet... They are what floated to the top.
@@nankerphelge3771 Ever heard of the old meme that it is fat and scum that floats to the top. His Orangeness qualifies on both counts.
The problem is not if Vivek is right or not, the problem is the Republikans took all funding from education system and created the idiocy and uneducation in red states especially… that resulted in Maga. If Vivek believes what he says, then why do they NOT SUPPORT education, why don’t they make higher education free, why don’t they pay k-12 teachers more????? Because it’s way cheaper for tech bros to pay a small salary and buy the best and brightest from other countries. Then these workers are stuck 10+ years on visas, until they can get citizenship and get paid more.
because you people are wasting money DEI garbage and brainwashing kids to be racist against white people.
Not entirely wrong when a guy who can hit a ball with a stick gets a 0.75 Billion dollar contract while people working to cure cancer are struggling to receive funding
It's called capitalism - they're not looking to end that set up anytime soon 😅.
Cricket?
That's a poor argument. An athlete generates billions of dollars worth of revenue for their sport and receives a relative fraction of the lucrative entertainment industry.
Some researchers are struggling because they largely lack federal funding and universities they often work for or with take likes of cash for themselves.
I'm not saying athletes aren't overpaid but this athletes vs. scientists argument is always fundamentally flawed.
@@BrianLockett The idea is sports shouldn't hold such reverence in our society.
Americans need to stop with this entertainment and escapism and put their heads back in the real world.
The Romans made the same mistake in the end.
@@TheFirstGoomba But do you honestly believe that would happen? That Americans will deprioritize entertainment and escapism.
He is right but by his logic Trump and Musk wouldn't be the next presidents and their cabinet picks wouldn't even be on the table. People's ability to be arbitrary and selective is amazing...
You should have stopped at “he was right”
You should have just stopped at " He is right".

And that’s why a lot of people are upset… he’s including them in his comments.
being anti amrerica in general is just insane while being an American politician
Why do we compete against the world cheapest doctors. We need a robust STEM education program. I would love to have a doctorate, I have an engineering degree as well. This country is too expensive for me to get a doctorate.
Meanwhile, millions do exactly that every year. You just aren't willing to do the necessary work.
Why would anybody hire an expensive stem major in America when they can hire one from India that can work 100 hours a week without complaining at half the rate
Lol I have a doctorate and a decent number of doctorate people are also underemployed. Many wind up teaching adjuncts at community colleges and elsewhere.
@@markcosenza3274 Bad take.
Republicans aren't going to support anything that expands the role of the federal government
Vivek distinguished himself and his accomplishments as Non-American with his words. Vivek doesn’t see himself as American from those statements so he can’t get upset when he is told that he isn’t American
Same things are said by Musk as well..
Kick him out as well 😁

@@cristinabutasimon9159 yea maybe because it has been getting defunded for the past 40 years. The constant demonization of teachers doesn’t help with getting qualified professionals to teach either.

In a word, YES
@@cristinabutasimon9159 Maybe because the department of education has been constantly defunded I mean “us schools underfunded by nearly 150 billion annually”. The constant demeaning of teachers doesn’t help with getting qualified professionals to teach either.

H1 visa workers just want low pay to leave their awful countries by stealing American jobs
Yes. Tech companies hire h1 visa immigrant workers because they are CHEAP LABOR and are beholden to their tech sponsors to work for little money and little benefits to do same job. $$$$$ profits$$$$$mobey$$$$$$$ is all tech ceo (Vivek and Elon) cares about.
. Tech CEOs maximize profits$$ by hiring H1 visa immigrants from India.

@@RonnieMyers777 Our American culture?? Lol Vivek 😂 Before the Indians from India arrived in America, we had homecoming kings and queens, football jocks, and Americans still sent a man to the moon. This is why in some ways I’m against immigration. You bring folks into this country that help them to become wealthy while looking down on Americans.
I do agree with the second tweet of Ramaswamy: "A culture that celebrates the prom queen over the math olympiad, or the jock over the valedictorian, will not produce the best engineers." I'm from The Netherlands Europe and we don't have school sports teams, cheerleaders and prom queens. And from the outside it looks kinda toxic how much emphasize there is on being the most popular and the best (better than others) in everything. The part I don't agree with is 'more work, less chillin'. Americans seem to live to work, while Dutch people work to live. Free time is very important. Not just for the worker's state of mind (less burn outs), but also for productivity. A well rested employee is way more productive than a person that works 12 hr shifts 6 days a week.
Dude you are just few million in population. You don't matter. If you didn't have oil you would be begging.

Let me spell out the problem. Firstly he's an Indian arrogantly standing on a pedestal of perceived Indian educational excellence calling a white audience academically stupid, while in this way implicitly advocating for more Indian immigration.

...there's a big difference between smart intelligent ppl and educated ppl.
.. Uneducated ppl vs. losers/foolish ppl.
A college degree doesn't equal intelligence and brains.
HS diploma doesn't not equal uneducated mediocre loser. Because many of them successful and even the CEO/boss over the college educated workers.
Because everybody gets a vote- so they have to pick on the Lowest common denominator issues and dumb down complex issues to soundbites for the voters.

To get a doctorate in the USA, you’d likely be paying the loans for a minimum of thirty years.
Depends on the field. In some STEM, it's free, IF you can get in. This is really about using indentured servants whom you can threaten with deportation
Not if you’re an immigrant
@DelKayson You know immigrants Subsidize Local Americans right? Immigrant students are the ones who keep many US universities from shutting down. Its a racket.
You allowed Trump back into office. Don't sit there kicking and screaming. Vivek Ramaswamy insulting Americans in a X post n MAGA is losing it. Gotta love watching this. Love from Canada 🍿🤣🤣
Vivek is just a boot licker. If American Culture was so jarring why did his Poverty stricken Indian Hindu Parents chose to move to US of their won volition. Even today mlns of Indians are stopped at the US Mexico border all illegals as the Breeding factories are in Industrial size production.
He doesn't insult the Americans! He spoke the THRUTH all the world know!
How did he insult Americans? 😅
The tv show that ruined American minds was the Celebrity Apprentice. I would have immediately came back at Vivek with that example. Come on media. How come little ol me has to point this out to you?
Said the man who thinks college is a waste of time.
Education and College are two different things, Danny Boy.
That was Charlie Kirk.

They dont care for popularity- they have advisory positions.
And Truth doesnt care about popularity. Importing cheaper and better workers and engineers is basically the MOST American thing and the only thing the USA has done consistently since the early colonial days.
Vivek is partially correct. However, he's sounding "woke" to me. In addition, if he truly believes that, why is he supporting trump and the other maga dimwits?
Ok let me get this straight
We have a Second African American Presiden, A second Indian vice president who today said America needs to WAKE up
basically sounds like a new type of
WOKE to me 😅
Need Whyte in all powerful positions after exploiting the world.
Only if our culture fully wakes up? That sounds like WOKE to me.
Nope. It's the opposite. Woke tries to hold back the smart kids by eliminating the SAT, rejecting them by saying they have bad geeky personalities, while Vivek is urging everybody in America to study harder and stop making fun of the smart kids in the class so that America in general will rise up to the level of the international kids. I know it hurts you to hear constructive criticism, but Vivek is just saying out loud what everyone already knows. American kids aren't as motivated when it comes to STEM.
For MAGA folks, this is what you call “bait and switch”.
Many of them learned about the bait and switch after they voted for Obama 🤷♀️🫠

As a decendent of immigrants as many Americans...i take serious offense at Vivek Ramaswamy's comments. American citizens have been closed out of applying for many of these "techinical" positions even with several degrees. Is this a sign of the economy? Yes and pretty much we should tighten the reigns on H1B visas from everywhere.
I hate to say he's not entirely wrong(yes I choked while saying that). What's surprising is it's this attitude that right-wingers accuse the left of having this elitist thinking. It's also coming from the same party that want's to eliminate the Departent of Education.
Eliminate Education or Indoctrination?
I have no problem with the quote.
However I’m trying to figure out how a guy who’s parents weren’t citizens when he was born (and who’s father still isn’t a citizen) got a seat on the Presidential Cabinet when I thought that Trump doesn’t believe in birthright citizenship. 🤷🏿♂️
Vivek’s perspective is valid… The same holds true for all Western countries, where the culture does not prioritize education or value intellectuals.
Ramaswamy is right
THe other thing that is funny is we have to remember this man has the same amount of professional credibility as Elizabeth Holmes. He got into a good school because his parents are successful and part of the top caste in india. He made connections there based off of being there and being smooth, joined a company and promised a product would come out made speculative stock money based on that promise, left the product didn't come out and the company went under. He didn't produce anything, develop anything, create anything. He sold a dream to dumb money and snuck out the back door and he wants to lecture us about mediocrity.
Exactly. He's a scammer.
When people start taking life advice from Ramasalami, the. It’s too late.
He's not wrong.
But instead of just purchasing the best and the brightest from other countries (as if they are slaves!), we actually fund programs that will support our own best and brightest!
How many brilliant minds are trapped by poverty and bigotry and all of the side effects that come with it? By lack of healthcare, education, and access to basic resources. To 'provide for the ... general welfare of the United States.'
Support our own people!
According to Vivek, the ONLY thing that government should be responsible for is “securing the American boarders and protecting the personal property of its citizens.” Now how basic can one’s concept of government be? Look at Vivek’s primary source (family first) of influence tied into wanting to be an extreme American rah! rah! rah!
Praises and accolades to your comment!

What I really love is that the MAGAs think Donald Trump actually cares for the avg working person. Yeah, he cares as much as VP Elon Musk or creepy JD Vance.
Did Ramaswamy say we need to be "woke"?
Pretty much....
I have to agree with him on America. It has to change
It’s a politically stupid statement, but I pretty much agree with his words. Trump supporters are not going to like him criticizing them as the people who are more supportive of those whose best years were playing sports in high school over standouts in academic achievement.
The MAGA folks are more upset about the promotion of H-1B visas by both Vivek & Elon. They are finding out that both men are just looking for cheap labor from outside the US.
Bros forgot they’re supposed to stick to the script.
How dare he! I love my mediocrity . Going to walmart....want something?
Let me guess who the Majority of the foreign workers would be if Viv had his way? That’s exactly why so many American IT jobs were outsourced to India.
He doesn't decide which countries to hire from. The corporations do. Why would the corporations have any preferences while hiring ?
@@rprprprprprp712 Corporations would go for the cheapest and plentiful, another way of saying India.
Diversity, equity, and inclusion does not mean unqualified. We would be way ahead if DEI was accepted over the underperforming, greedy mediocrity of white Anerica.
Ramaswamy gets a little power and thinks everything he says is golden. Predictable
Did it sound like a word salad to you?
"I was friends with school shooters."
Golden like that?
He is right. As long as we idolize sports stars over science stars we will need to import brains.
For cheaper labor😂
That's stereotyping people. My brother got a football scholarship to become a mechanical engineer. He worked on the machinery for oil rigs.
It is inaccurate to assert such a comparison, and it is unwise to equate sports stars with scientists, given their fundamentally distinct roles. Sports stars are compensated for their entertainment value and their contribution to fostering community engagement, whereas scientists are remunerated for their pursuit of knowledge and understanding of the world. Scientists do not depend on public acclaim as they are not entertainers, which highlights the misguidance in Vivek Ramaswamy's assertion.
Furthermore, it appears that Vivek Ramaswamy prioritizes his own interests above those of others or even his own community, focusing instead on individuals like Elon Musk and Donald Trump.
Not everyone is scientists,
Sometimes scientist's are jocks and they use athletic scholarship to become a scientist's. What does it matter? It's America the greatest economy. Which is why they are fighting over it. Stay focus.
lol and Donald Trump is a prime example of this he’s absolutely correct
Little Vivek thinks he has the sway to be an Elon edgelord 😂
Your fantasies are very detailed.
Not a fan of Vivek but his take on American culture is not wrong.
THEY ARE LAZY
Vivek, posting why he won’t hire American IT because we’re uneducated and foreign workers are. More reason NOT to demolish the Education Department.
there is more STEMS grads then ever in American history... its none sense....
Vivek and Elon think Americans don't work as hard as H1B visas, they got me laughing out loud!
*He is absolutely right! We rank WAY down the list of top countries in math and science! In our cities, barely 50% of kids graduate HS at all! Our colleges turn out woke privileged kids who don't measure up to their parents or grandparents at that age!*
So the uneducated who voted for Trump and accepted simplistic answers, and got caught up with "woke" are the superior intellectual model. Vivek IS from that higher educated class. "Woke" is a yoke, you put upon yourself.
You are completely wrong - 85%+ of kids "in cities" graduate from high school. Instead of propagating stereotypes, why don't you actually look up the data.
Dear Paul: are you a Trump-fan? Have you heard about how he wants to eliminate the Dept of Education to save money, i.e., help fund his tax cuts for the wealthy? Vivek & Elon (& Donald) want cheap foreign labor for their companies.
We should be proud that people want to come to our country. THAT is what makes America great. Trump is trying to ensure that the American Dream dies and becomes an eternal nightmare. We need to build better cities, encourage immigration, and give a great education, food and healthcare to EVERY child in America. Imagine how great we could be.
What about Trump's complaint about foreigners taking good American jobs isn't that what this is? So it's really about paying workers less so they can have more, just plain greed!
It's always about the rich getting richer.
Vivek committed political suicide. unforced error. he’s not so smart (politically)
He should take his opinion back to where he and his parents are from 😆 he basically said Americans are too dumb to hire!
and you proved his point with the way you incorrectly paraphrased him.
Ram Ram is not an American 😂😂!!
His birth certificate says otherwise.
Please tell me how jealous you are of his success without telling me how jealous you are of his success.
He is absolutely right . . .
I'm latin by the way , and what he says is right on point .
India should be more advanced than. So should Latin countries.
I never thought that I would agree with Ramaswamy on anything, but I think there was a lot of truth in what he said about why the United States needs to turn to highly skilled workers from other countries because we no longer prioritize education in this country. I have seen evidence of that cropping up in so many ways over the past few decades.
Well, my local high school cut art and music for football then the school board backs down on a no smart phones in class policy because parents said the "poor dears" need their phones in case mommy or daddy or their friends wants to contract them. Then parents blame the school when their kids get low SAT scores and can't get into a top university. Ramaswamy is right but this DOGE looks like the clown car drove into DC.
"I never thought that I would agree with Ramaswamy on anything."
Why is that?
@@geneclarke2205 I am not remotely a fan of DOGE (and most certainly not of Musk, and normally not of Ramaswamy either), but in this one instance, I do agree with the latter. It is sadly true that in many parts of our country, those who work hard and do well in school are looked down upon by their classmates. While having balance in life is important, we have tilted far too much towards the "relax and have a good time" view of life and away from the "work hard and take pride in your accomplishments" ethos we used to have. I don't think either extreme is healthy. We need to find a middle ground. We also need to celebrate those who pursue careers in the STEM fields as they are the ones who will help the United States be competitive with the rest of the world. Until that day comes, I would far rather American companies hire those with the necessary expertise (no matter where they were born) than have them work for China, North Korea, Russia, etc.
@@spikefivefivefive Ramaswamy is a near billionaire ex-CEO who is only interested in Wall Street and emphasizes the doctrine of shareholder primacy articulated by Milton Friedman. Ramaswamy co-founded Strive Asset Management and during his campaign he was pushing donors to use Strive for their pension fund management and was sighted for unregistered lobbying. He has one thing in mind with DOGE, enrich himself at the expense of taxpayers.
He's not right though, anecdotes be damned.
HE IS RIGHT
Vifake is just like every other magamouth. Now that he's not going to be president, he's slamming the very people he courted: fellow Americans...
Remember when Kamala called 18-22 year olds "stupid"?
Those were the very people she courted.
I guess we now know why she courted them.
While I despise both Trump and Ramaswamy, I have to say, he speaks some truth here.
Vivek is mostly concerned with cheap foreign labor. Ditto for Elon.
Look at kids in Scandinavia. They know more about our history than our kids ever will. Science, engineering, economics, languages, they’re way ahead. Our teachers are teaching them to be activists on social issues. That should get them fired. It’s ruining them. Kids need more discipline and respect. They won’t learn it on their own.
Discipline and respect start at home. Have this conversation with parents because they are the reason for these overly entitled, wannabe privileged kids who think that everything is supposed to be given to them.
Last time I checked Vivek and Elon haven't invented anything nor would they be able to pass any tech entrance exams.
True, Musk was accepted at the prestigious Stanford University in Palo Alto, California, and he dropped out after 2 days claiming he could invent/grow his company on his own without that big degree, so he purchased other genius tech ideas including buying Tesla
That's too bad, Vivek, because you and Dusk choose dirty money over your kind that you betrayed.
Not many Americans who can do quant stuff.. hard to find. Hes not wrong.
Not many citizens / residents from every country in the world can do quant stuff.
I actually think he is right on this.
more STEM grads then ever... so no hes wrong.
White America first?
lol I love this stuff
He's not wrong.
He actually thought he had to dumb down his explanation for stupid Americans by using 90s
TV
I spotted ramaswamy hypocracy a long time ago and said he could fool Americans but not indians.
so stupid, there are 365 million people and more than enough STEM graduates. They want cheap labor from India to do the mundane tasks, not the best and brightest, They get paid less and complain less.
He's 100% correct, but that is some tough medicine to swallow for the American ego.
But he didn't go about it professionally he was more like dissing certain people
Ramaswamy is one of the most solidly mediocre people to have ever entered the public sphere in the US
You’re trippin
His bank account says otherwise.
