    If you're on a work visa and you don't want to get deported then you do what daddy Elon tells you.

    It's easy to talk about integrity when you're not in that position.

    I was in this position, no other job in sight, no safety net, nothing.

    I worked as an lead designer for a big german company and was asked by the head of ux/ui to design an interface to actively trick users and I refused to do it and came up with an alternative. I was yelled at for not doing my job and asked again to do "my fucking work". I went to my laptop, printet out my resignation papers, handed it over to the ceo and left the building...sure the next 1 and half months were pretty fucky but that's another story.

    In that same week a I had a job interview with another company, went there for a get to know day and happily signed my contract a week later and I have been with this company for 4 years now, moved my way up to head of design and I'm just happy.

    (a) survival bias (b) don't take credit for what you did, you're not a highly moral hero, it's just how chemistry in your brain works; it's perfectly normal to be egoistic, take care of yourself and not quit from the day 1 just because you don't like what your boss asked you to do.
