Nvidia CEO Cheers $100K Visa Fee: Startups Cry in Corner
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, the Taiwan-born digital overlord with 36,000 employees and 1,519 H-1B visa filings in FY2025, calls Trump's $100,000 H-1B visa fee 'a great start' but admits it 'probably sets the bar a little too high.' Speaking on the 'BG2 Pod,' Huang worries this mega-fee, aimed at crushing illegal immigration and abuse, might just send talent overseasāsorta like Netflix canceling your fave show but at startup scale. The White House insists the fee targets only new applicants, ignoring renewals, so Big Techās wallet-thin cousins can keep sobbing quietly. OpenAIās Sam Altman agreesābecause whatās better than paying a hundred grand to shop for brainy immigrants? The American dream just got a luxury tax.
