US President-elect Donald Trump appointed Indian-origin Sriram Krishnan as a Senior White House Policy Advisor on Artificial Intelligence. Since the announcement, Krishnan has faced criticism due to his controversial views on immigration and green card caps. Amid the debate, an X user shared a racist image depicting Krishnan as butter chicken, a dish commonly associated with Indian cuisine.
In response, investor Jason condemned the troll, calling the attack “disgusting” and praising Krishnan as “awesome.” Elon Musk reacted to Jason’s comments with a “Hundred Points” emoji, symbolizing agreement.
The post sparked outrage on social media, with many criticizing the racist image. Some expressed that it wasn’t funny, while others condemned the behavior as distasteful. A few suggested Musk take the image as a joke, arguing it wasn’t racist.
This incident highlights a growing wave of anti-India sentiment online, with many expressing concerns over job competition and immigration policies, particularly around green cards and H-1B visas.
