Watching Elon Musk this week has been a fascinating character study in the saviour complex of Western tech billionaires.

They arrive in your country selling you the future. Welcome them, and you’re a country that wants progress. Make them wait, and suddenly your people are victims who need rescuing from their own institutions by the chosen one.

It’s a pattern. When Thai rescuers didn’t use the mini-submarine Musk sent for the trapped boys, and diver Vernon Unsworth called the idea impractical, Musk attacked him as the “pedo guy.”

When Brazil’s Supreme Court ordered X to comply with its rulings, Musk called the judge a “dictator.”

The script rarely changes. Only the country does.

The colonial mindset isn’t always about wanting to rule a country. Sometimes it’s the assumption that you arrive as its saviour, and if the country doesn’t immediately recognise you as one, something must be wrong with the country.

At this point, Indians don't want Starlink even if you give it for free...
This desperate and negative pitching of your product has repulsed the already suspicious Indian consumers.

Its done Elon bro... Its done

Elon Musk was born in South Africa. Satya Nadella was born in India. Sergey Brin was born in the Soviet Union. Jensen Huang and Lisa Su were born in Taiwan.

Immigration is America’s superpower, and we’re at risk of throwing it away.

From another Captain

Capt Smit, something happened yesterday on my flight to Yerevan which honestly stayed with me.

When I stepped out during refuelling, the refueller asked me where I was from. I told him I’m Indian.

He just came up, hugged me and then gave me a salute.

I honestly can’t explain what that felt like. Standing there in another country, in my pilot uniform, and having someone show me that kind of respect simply because I’m Indian… it genuinely gave me goosebumps.

And my immediate thought was — this is because of you.

The way people look at India today, the respect Indians are getting around the world, and especially the way Indian pilots are being seen when we represent our country… I feel like something has really changed.

And I want you to know that I’m genuinely grateful to you for being a part of that change.

Sometimes we see things from far away and don’t realise the impact they’re actually having on ordinary people like us. But yesterday, that hug and that salute made me feel it personally.

That guy probably had no idea what that moment meant to me. But I walked back to the aircraft feeling incredibly proud to be Indian — and incredibly grateful to you.

I just felt I had to tell you this.

And most importantly, wishing you a very speedy recovery!

High skilled immigrants are powering America into AI dominance.

Most attendees at the White House top AI leaders meeting are immigrants, and some of the U.S. born are children of immigrants.

One quarter are from India.

restricting a superintelligence might be like a toddler setting house rules for an adult. If it's truly smarter than us, can our limits really hold? Or does alignment have to come from within? 🧠 #AI #Superintelligence

Almost half of US unicorns were founded by first-generation immigrants.

The chart is from my earlier research on the topic (I should update it — and will), but the point stands: immigrants have an outsized impact on US innovation.

At the time, 65 countries had produced at least one US unicorn founder. I'm sure the count is higher now.

You can be pro-meritocracy or anti-immigration, but you can't be both.

ORBIT ACHIEVED. 🚀

Vikram-1 Test Flight-1 has reached orbit. India's first privately developed orbital rocket has completed its final burn and injected its payloads into a ~450 km orbit, making India the third country in the world with private orbital launch capability.

History is made. 🇮🇳

Good morning, world! 🌎

We have spectacular new high-resolution images of our home planet, all of us looking back through the Orion capsule window at our Artemis II astronauts as they continue their journey to the Moon.
