Verdict: False

There is no evidence the outlet published an article with this headline.

Fact Check:

President-elect Donald Trump has spoken out in support of Vivek Ramaswamy and his stance on the H-1B visas, BBC News reported. Trump stated that he has used the program before, but Nikki Haley argued that the country should not focus on foreign workers, according to the outlet.

A post shared on X, formerly known as Twitter, purports the New York Post published an article claiming that Musk does not white males to get hired. The post shared an image of the alleged article.

The alleged headline reads, “Only six percent of new jobs go to white males, Musk vows death before that changes.”

The caption reads, “So you’ve chosen war @elonmusk.”

The claim is inaccurate. There is no credible news report that suggests this headline is an authentic headline from an outlet. There is no record of this headline on their website. There is no record of this article on any of the New York Post’s social media accounts. (RELATED: Did NY Times Publish The Headline ‘Why The Glorification Of Luigi Mangione Is Inherently Anti-Israel’?)

Musk did defend the use of the H-1B visa program. He wrote on X recently that “The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.”

The reason I’m in America along with so many critical people who built SpaceX, Tesla and hundreds of other companies that made America strong is because of H1B.

Take a big step back and FUCK YOURSELF in the face. I will go to war on this issue the likes of which you cannot…
