He’s definitely racist enough. The problem is that he’s also aware that a lot of the programmers that tech bros like him depend on aren’t white Americans.
That to a smaller extent, but I wouldn't be surprised if he actually believes what he says because someone who's here on an H1B is far more likely to be a yes man. They are effectively forced to not push back at all and say yes to everything he demands even if it's a shitty idea.
Elon hates it when people tell him that something he wants is a bad idea. His narcissistic ego can't take it, so he convinces himself that the people pushing back are lazy or dumb. He's probably delusional to some extent.
The effectively indentured, cheap labor is also a bonus, but I don't think that is the primary motivator
