Securing a green card in the United States has always been a cherished dream for many. Under the Trump administration, discussions heightened around how immigrant opportunities might become limited in America.
Arvind Srinivas, an Indian origin resident of San Francisco and CEO of Perplexity AI, has been eagerly waiting for his green card process to conclude for three years now. Engulfed in the uncertainty of whether he would get it or not, he expressed his situation on the social media platform, X.
Srinivas's Day Made
In response to his post, Elon Musk, one of the world's largest billionaires, simply replied, 'Yes'. This single word from Musk captivated social media. Srinivas showcased his gratitude with a red heart and folded hands emoji.

'Easier for Criminals to Enter America'
This isn't the first time Musk has shown support for Srinivas. Some days prior, Musk had voiced his frustration over America's complex immigration system, suggesting that it is easy for criminals to enter the U.S., but tough for Nobel laureates and talented professionals.
