I really don't know how to explain to you that "imports and employs people for cheap, compliant labor" does not automatically mean "personally likes those people".
Reword "Ah yeah, because Nazis were big on importing millions of Indian workers" to "Ah yeah, because Confederates were big on importing millions of African workers" and you'll see the dramatic logical failure in your attempted argument.

Thomas Jefferson reportedly loved Sally Hemmings. He still kept her (and his own resulting children!) enslaved.
Hell, there were pro-Nazi Jews. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_German_National...
If he didn't like those people, why would he want to share the country with millions of them?
Confederates weren't importing slaves (Let's just say there's a reason why slave auctions were often closed on Saturdays), but anyway, it's a different analogy since the slaves were not participating in society. They were slaves. They imported them knowing their kids will not share schools, they will not share restaurants, etc. They were imported with the impression they will not become American citizens. The millions of Indian workers have a pathway to greencard, or often they have children which become US citizens.
If you want to claim that Elon is racist despite him wanting millions of foreigners, you have to provide strong support for your claim.
> Confederates weren't importing slaves…
Ah, we're not having a good-faith discussion.
