Trump sides with Elon Musk in H-1B visa debate, says he has ‘used it many times'

President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday sided with key supporter and billionaire tech CEO Elon Musk in a public dispute over the use of the H-1B visa, saying he fully backs the programme for foreign tech workers opposed by some of his supporters. Trump's remarks followed a series of social media posts from Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, who vowed late Friday to go to "war" to defend the visa programme for foreign tech workers.

Trump, who moved to limit the visas' use during his first presidency, told The New York Post on Saturday he was likewise in favour of the visa programme.

"I have many H-1B visas on my properties. I've been a believer in H-1B. I have used it many times.

It's a great programme," he was quoted as saying.
