Elon Musk Commends Indian-American Lawmaker Running For President

Elon Musk called Indian-American Vivek Ramaswamy’s bid for the US presidency “promising” on Friday. The owner of X, a platform that was formerly known as Twitter, was responding to an interview the Republican leader made to former Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

The 37-year-old Republican presidential contender in the US is “a very promising candidate,” Mr. Musk said, reposting the interview in which it was said that he was the youngest candidate.

The internet entrepreneur was born to immigrant Indian parents from Kerala who lived in the US before attending Harvard and Yale institutions.

This comes after the Tesla CEO visited China, at which point the Republican leader criticised the billionaire’s strong relationships with Chinese ministers. Elon Musk said he will expand his business there and praised China’s “vitality and promise” while meeting with the foreign minister of the nation.

Mr. Ramaswamy alleged that China “advanced their agenda” through manipulating well-known US business figures.

Elon Musk’s meeting with China’s foreign minister yesterday to discuss his opposition to decoupling and his description of the United States and Communist China as “conjoined twins” raises serious concerns.

Strangely, Tesla’s vice president in China did not republish that message on Weibo in the US, he had claimed.

In the past, Musk has supported Ron DeSantis, a Trump foe who utilised a Twitter Spaces event to declare his candidature.

The three Indian-Americans running against former US President Donald Trump for the top post in January are Mr. Ramaswamy, Nikki Haley, and Hirsh Vardhan Singh.
