Tesla CEO and Donald Trump’s close aide Elon Musk has reacted to an X-post by Indian-origin CEO Aravind Srinivas that is going viral on social media.
Srinivas questioned whether he would get a green card in a post on X.
“I think I should get a green card. What?” he wrote.
His post received responses from many social media users. But the answer from billionaire Elon Musk caught everyone’s attention.
Elon Musk responded to his post with just one word, writing “Yes.”
After Musk’s answer, Srinivas reacted with two emojis- A red heart emoji and a clasped hands emoji.

Srinivas completed his B. Tech and M. Tech in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Madras. He received his PhD from the University of California, Berkeley.
He began his career at OpenAI as a research intern and worked for several other companies, such as Google and DeepMind. He also worked as a researcher within OpenAI.
Earlier too, Musk reacted to an X post by Aravind Srinivas, where he described the struggle to get a green card.
“Yep. I’ve been waiting for my green card for like the last 3 years. Still haven’t received it. People are mostly clueless when they talk about immigration,” Srinivas wrote.
Musk acknowledged the issue and assured that US President-elect Donald Trump and the newly formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) would resolve it. Elon Musk is also a member of DOGE.
“We have an upside-down system that makes it difficult for highly talented people to come to America legally, but trivial for criminals to come here illegally. Why is it easier to enter illegally as a murderer than legally as a Nobel laureate? @realDonaldTrump and the DOGE will fix this,” Musk wrote.
