Tech billionaire Elon Musk has once again gained the attention of the netizens with his response to to a post by an Indian-origin CEO living in United States (US) regarding his green card application.
Aravind Srinivas, CEO of Perplexity AI, who has been waiting for three years to secure the Green Card asked his followers on X for thoughts on whether he should get the Green Card.
“I think I should get a green card. Wdyt?” he said.
The Tesla CEO answered his post with just one word and wrote, “Yes.” This single word, though minimal in content, garnered a flurry of reactions across the microblogging platform from netizens.

Srinivas responded to the remark, using two emoticons – A red heart emoji and a folded hands emoticon.
A green card, officially called a Permanent Resident Card, is a document that grants an individual the right to live and work permanently in the United States. Holders of a green card are non-citizens who have been legally approved to reside in the country permanently.
This isn’t the first time Musk has interacted with Srinivas. Earlier, the tech billionaire had responded to Srinivas’ comment about the convoluted US immigration system. He had expressed frustration over the difficulty for talented individuals to enter the US legally.
“We have an upside-down system that makes it difficult for highly skilled individuals to enter the US legally, while it’s almost effortless for criminals to do so illegally. Why is it easier for a murderer to cross the border unlawfully than for a Nobel Laureate to enter legally? @realDonaldTrump and DOGE will fix this,” Musk had said.
