There is an interesting confrontation between “tech bros” and “MAGA loyalists.”
The MAGA loyalists primarily accuse @elonmusk of favoring foreign skilled workers, claiming he is “betraying” the idea of “America First.”
ਅਮਰੀਕਾ ਦੇ ਮਨੋਨੀਤ ਰਾਸ਼ਟਰਪਤੀ ਡੋਨਲਡ ਟਰੰਪ ਨੇ ਭਾਰਤੀ-ਅਮਰੀਕੀ ਪੂੰਜੀਪਤੀ ਸ੍ਰੀਰਾਮ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨਨ ਨੂੰ ਮਸਨੂਈ ਬੌਧਿਕਤਾ (ਏਆਈ) ਬਾਰੇ ਸੀਨੀਅਰ ਨੀਤੀ ਸਲਾਹਕਾਰ ਨਿਯੁਕਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ।
ਟਰੰਪ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਸਬੰਧੀ ਐਲਾਨ ਕਰਦਿਆਂ ਕਿਹਾ, ‘ਸ੍ਰੀਰਾਮ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨਨ ‘ਵਾਈਟ ਹਾਊਸ ਆਫਿਸ ਆਫ ਸਾਇੰਸ ਐਂਡ ਟੈਕਨਾਲੋਜੀ ਪਾਲਿਸੀ’ ਵਿੱਚ ਏਆਈ ਬਾਰੇ ਸੀਨੀਅਰ ਨੀਤੀ ਸਲਾਹਕਾਰ ਵਜੋਂ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਨਗੇ।’
ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨਨ ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਮਾਈਕ੍ਰੋਸਾਫਟ, ਟਵਿੱਟਰ, ਯਾਹੂ, ਫੇਸਬੁੱਕ ਅਤੇ ਸਨੈਪ ਆਦਿ ਕੰਪਨੀਆਂ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੰਮ ਕਰ ਚੁੱਕੇ ਹਨ। ਹੁਣ ਓਹ ‘ਵਾਈਟ ਹਾਊਸ ਏਆਈ ਐਂਡ ਕ੍ਰਿਪਟੋ ਜ਼ਾਰ’ ਲਈ ਨਿਯੁਕਤ ਕੀਤੇ ਗਏ ਡੇਵਿਡ ਓ ਸਾਕਸ ਨਾਲ ਰਲ ਕੇ ਕੰਮ ਕਰਨਗੇ।
ਟਰੰਪ ਨੇ ਕਿਹਾ, ‘ਡੇਵਿਡ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਸ੍ਰੀਰਾਮ ਏਆਈ ਦੇ ਖੇਤਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਮਰੀਕਾ ਦਾ ਦਬਦਬਾ ਯਕੀਨੀ ਬਣਾਉਣ ’ਤੇ ਧਿਆਨ ਕੇਂਦਰਿਤ ਕਰਨਗੇ।’
ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨਨ ਨੇ ਇਸ ਅਹੁਦੇ ਲਈ ਨਾਮਜ਼ਦ ਕੀਤੇ ਜਾਣ ’ਤੇ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ ਜ਼ਾਹਰ ਕੀਤੀ ਹੈ। ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਕਿਹਾ, ‘ਆਪਣੇ ਦੇਸ਼ ਦੀ ਸੇਵਾ ਕਰਨ ਅਤੇ ਡੇਵਿਡ ਨਾਲ ਮਿਲ ਕੇ ਏਆਈ ਦੇ ਖੇਤਰ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਮਰੀਕਾ ਦਾ ਦਬਦਬਾ ਕਾਇਮ ਰੱਖਣ ਦਾ ਜੋ ਮੌਕਾ ਮਿਲਿਆ ਹੈ, ਉਸ ਸਬੰਧੀ ਮੈਂ ਸਨਮਾਨਿਤ ਮਹਿਸੂਸ ਕਰ ਰਿਹਾ ਹਾਂ।’ ਭਾਰਤੀ-ਅਮਰੀਕੀ ਭਾਈਚਾਰੇ ਨੇ ਕ੍ਰਿਸ਼ਨਨ ਦੀ ਨਿਯੁਕਤੀ ਦਾ ਸਵਾਗਤ ਕੀਤਾ ਹੈ।
JFK Airport, New York City.
Immigrations had rounded up 500 Indians. They all had BTech degrees and Dell laptops.
Their luggages were identical too. VIP suitcases. 10 family packs of Masala Maggi. 20 MTR ready to eat veg pulao boxes. Wagh Bakri masala tea packs. One pressure cooker. 20 packs of ITC Gold Flake Kings from Bangalore Duty Free. 5 kg Kohinoor basmati rice. MDH Garam Masala packets. Fogg deo.
“This has to be a racket. Who is your leader?” asked the TSA agent wearing a red MAGA hat.
Suddenly, he was blinded by a flash of lightning and a strong gale of wind. Because a simple elderly lady in a cotton saree had materialized. “They all have H1B visas,” she quoth. “Without them, your economy will grind to a standstill!”
In the distance, the cleaning staff cheered, as the Stars and Stripes got lowered, and the Tricolor started rising. Out of nowhere, AR Rahman and Sivamani appeared. “Bharat hum ko jaan se pyaara hai,” sang they, as all the H1B holders fought back tears of pride.

Repeat observation, but there is something absurd about importing ‘high-skilled’ foreigners at the same time as the USA has been eliminating advanced programs in public schools that might identify domestic talent – all in the name of DEI.
We don’t even know how much domestic talent we have because we have worked to make it impossible to find it, and then to cultivate it.
Then we add insult to injury by saying we are desperate for foreign talent after hobbling our own kids at home. Our people – who may have been screwed – aren’t good enough.

It’s official: American Indians are in the same boat as American Jews now.
The hate is tangible. It’s biting. It’s in DMs.
All because of jealousy.
That too on Christmas. Irony died a thousand deaths.
Down to start an Indian-Jew matchmaking website. Let’s win this shit?

Americans Go on Anti-Indian Tweet Storm Amid H1B Visas Debate

Deeply disturbing to see the appointment of Sriram Krishnan
@sriramk
as Senior Policy Advisor for AI at the Office of Science and Technology Policy.
It’s alarming to see the number of career leftists who are now being appointed to serve in Trump’s admin when they share views that are in direct opposition to Trump’s America First agenda.
How will be control immigration in our country and promote America First innovation when Trump appointed this guy who wants to REMOVE all restrictions on green card caps in the United States so that foreign students (which makes up 78% of the employees in Silicon Valley) can come to the US and take jobs that should be given to American STEM students.
This is very troubling. Mind you, none of the tech executives who are meeting with Trump and getting appointed in his cabinet supported him in 2020 or during the 2024 primary.
I feel like many of them are trying to get into Trump’s admin to enrich themselves and get contracts at DOD.
This is not America First policy.

Nope!

Once Indians take over anything, be it X, Reddit, Amazon, Google, universities, or Congress, they are nepotistic and hire their own until the organization becomes 100% Indian. They don't understand or care about diversity, free speech, or any of our ideals. They are tribalistic.
