Aravind Srinivas and Elon Musk's X conversation:
This is not the first time the SpaceX CEO has reacted to a post by Aravind Srinivas. A few days ago, he responded to the Indian-origin CEO's post about waiting for a green card.
"We have an upside down system that makes it hard for highly talented people to come to America legally, but trivial for criminals to come here illegally. Why is easier to get in illegally as a murderer than legally as a Nobel Laureate? @realDonaldTrump and DOGE will fix this," Musk wrote, referencing the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
