Elon musk has always supported free and practical views, especially those coming from people associated with technology. He has always been supportive of Sriram Krishnan, Donald Trump’s pick as AI head. This time he has supported him after a racist picture posted by an X user.

Ever since Indian-origin Sriram Krishnan’s name came out as the Senior White House Policy Advisor for US President-elect Donald Trump, the entrepreneur has been a subject of debate. His views on immigration and green card caps have been criticised by many, however, the world’s richest man and one of the greatest tech entrepreneurs of all time, Elon Musk, has backed Krishnan.  

In of those criticism posts, one X user posted a picture of an Indian dish, butter chicken, and along with the picture of Sriram Krishnan. The post read, “Here is what Sriram Krishnan would look like if he was butter chicken.” The butter chicken picture seems to be an AI-generated picture that covers Krishnan’s face and neck with the Indian dish.  

Elon Musk’s reactions: 

A user on X, Jason supported Sriram and criticised the racist post saying, “These racist attacks are disgusting. [ @sriramk is awesome, for the record ].” Musk in reply to Jason’s comments wrote, “100” by using an emoji, which is a sign of saying “100 percent” and is written in support of anything.  

In an earlier post Krishnan expressed his views on green card and immigration and said, “Anything to remove country caps/unlock skilled immigration would be huge”. He was criticised on his views by a far-right commentator Laura Loomer. Donald Trump’s new head of artificial intelligence (AI) and crypto David Sacks clarified Krishnan’s views and in reply said, “Point of clarification: Sriram didn’t say he wants to remove all caps on green cards. He said he wants to remove *country* caps on green cards…”. Elon Musk supported Sack’s views and wrote, “Makes sense”. 

Sriram Krishnan’s appointment and his views on immigration and green card policies sparked a debate which led to clash between the top tech entrepreneurs including Elon Musk and Trump’s loyal supporters. This debate was made even more complex after Donald Trump who staunchly put restrictions on H1B visa in his last term became more soft supporting extending green cards to graduates.
