The Wall Street Journal reports Americans are emigrating at elevated levels, drawn by the combination of high U.S. salaries and lower living costs in destination countries. This reflects a real trend accelerated by remote work flexibility post-2020, though the article likely covers nuances (visa access, timing, destination preferences) that the tweet compresses. The story omits that emigration rates remain historically modest — roughly 0.8–1% of the U.S. population annually — and doesn't address whether "record numbers" compares to post-pandemic migration patterns or extends further back.
