Elon Musk slams ‘hateful racists’ after Indians mistreated in H1B visa dispute: ‘These despicable fools…’

Elon Musk slams ‘hateful racists’ after Indians mistreated in H1B visa dispute: ‘These despicable fools…’

Elon Musk has harshly criticized “hateful, unrepentant racists” within the Republican Party and called for their removal as tensions rise over the H-1B visa debate. The Space X founder’s reaction came after a Democrat accused the party of treating Indian Americans “differently.” Musk supported legal immigration and contributed to the growing divide in the Republican Party by siding with allies like Vivek Ramaswamy.

Elon Musk calls out “hateful racists.”

Donald Trump has appointed five Indian-Americans to his 2.0 Cabinet including Vivek Ramaswamy (Head of the Department of Government Efficiency), Kash Patel (Director of the FBI), Harmeet Dhillon (Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights), Jay Bhattacharya (Director of the National Institutes of Health) and the most controversial, Sriram Krishnan (White House senior policy adviser on artificial intelligence).

Krishnan’s appointment and stance on the green card issue drew criticism from some far-right activists and pro-MAGA supporters such as Laura Loomer and other social media personalities.

On Friday evening, Musk intensified the ongoing feud by calling for the removal of certain “despicable fools” in the Republican Party. His comment came in response to a post on X by Neera Tanden, the director of President Joe Biden’s US Domestic Policy Council.

“I am an Indian American born here and it is crystal clear that the Democratic Party sees me as an American and much of the Republican Party base does not,” Tanden wrote on X. “I hope that “Remind Indian Americans of this moment” in the next election. They don’t see you as one of them. And that will never happen,” she continued.

“They thought they just hated other immigrants. But it turns out there is no exception for you. As many of us have told you,” Tanden continued.

Scott Adams chimed in, claiming that MAGA Republicans are now “copying the Democrats’ playbook on how to lose elections and still feel good about it.”

In response to the post, the Tesla owner acknowledged the rift and commented, “Yes.” He then continued, “And these despicable fools must be removed from the Republican Party by any means necessary.”

When some offended Americans questioned his post, Musk clarified: “The “despicable fools” I refer to are those in the Republican Party who are hateful, unrepentant racists.”

“They will absolutely spell the demise of the Republican Party if they are not removed.”

Elon Musk’s ex-Grimes supports the Indians

On Saturday, Grimes, Musk’s ex-girlfriend and mother of his three children, spoke out against rising racism against Indians and shared her personal connection to the culture. “It is embarrassing to create anti-India sentiment out of nowhere. They were clear about their plans,” Grimes posted on X after Laura Loomer’s calls for an end to H1B extensions went wild.

Speaking about her upbringing, Grimes revealed: “My stepfather is Indian and I had a wonderful childhood in a half-Indian household. Indian culture blends well with western culture.”

Born and raised in Vancouver, Canada, Grimes’ mother remarried to Ravi Sidhoo, the director of East India Carpets in Vancouver, after her parents’ divorce.

Later in a post, Musk said: “Anyone – no matter what race, creed or nationality – who came to America and worked like hell to contribute to this country will forever have my respect.”

“America is the land of freedom and opportunity. Fight with every fiber of your being to keep it that way!”
