Elon Musk on Friday praised Indian American Vivek Ramaswamy who is running for US President saying he is a ‘very promising candidate’. Reposting Ramaswamy’s video with famous TV host Tucker Carlson on X (formerly called Twitter), Musk said that the Indian American candidate is a very promising one as far as the race for the US President chair is concerned. In the video interview, Ramaswamy talks about criticism against him and his claim that the FBI and 9/11 commission did not reveal the complete truth about the terror act.
“He is a very promising candidate,” Musk said while reposting the interview. Notably, 37-year-old Vivek Ramaswamy is the youngest Republican presidential candidate in the US.

This comes after over two months when Ramaswamy shared a video on X expressing concerns about billionaires meeting Chinese ministers after Musk took a trip to China.
“I’m breaking an unspoken rule in the GOP, but I call it like I see it: it’s deeply concerning that @elonmusk met with China’s foreign minister yesterday to oppose decoupling and referred to the U.S. & Communist China as “conjoined twins.” Tesla’s VP in China reposted that statement on Weibo in China, but curiously not here in the U.S,” he said.
Mentioning that China is turning the most prominent business leaders of US into ‘puppets to advance their agenda’, he said. “In October, Elon issued an unprompted call for “reunification” of Taiwan & won a favorable tax benefit in Shanghai days later. I’ve been one of the most vocal supporters of Elon’s effort to transform Twitter, but it’s a real risk to the U.S. when the CCP turns our most prominent business leaders & celebrities – Tim Cook, Larry Fink, LeBron James, Elon Musk – into puppets to advance their agenda.”

“That tilts the global scales of perception in China’s favor – and sadly, it’s working. The U.S. needs leaders who aren’t in China’s pocket, yet Biden is just another embodiment of that same problem,” he said.
