Verdict: False

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

Fact check:

President-elect Donald Trump has expressed support for Vivek Ramaswamy and his position on H-1B visas. BBC News Reported. Trump said he had used the program before, but Nikki Haley insisted it should not focus on foreign workers, the paper said.

A post shared on X (previously known as Twitter) claims the New York Post published an article alleging that Musk doesn’t hire white men. In the post, an image of the alleged article was shared.

The alleged headline read, “Only 6% of new jobs go to white men, and Musk vows to die before that changes.”

The caption reads: “So you chose war.” @Elonmask”

That claim is inaccurate. There is no reliable reporting to suggest that this headline is a genuine headline from any news outlet. There are no records with this heading in their records Website. There is no record of this article in any New York Post paper. socializing media account. (Related: Why did the New York Times run the headline “Why is Luigi Mangione’s praise inherently anti-Israel”?)

Musk defended the use of the H-1B visa program. He recently wrote to X: Because of H1B”

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

Take a big step back and fuck me in the face. I’m going to fight a war you can’t fight on this issue…

This is not the first time a false headline has appeared online. “Check Your Fact” recently debunked a claim that a Christian website praised President Joe Biden for pardoning his son.
