Perplexity AI's CEO Aravind Srinivas Says He Is 'Still Waiting' For Green Card Musk Replies, 'Donald Trump Will Fix'

(MENAFN- Live Mint) Elon Musk took a jab at the Biden administration, stating that the US immigration policy is upside down.

His comments came in response to a post from the CEO of Perplexity AI, who shared his struggles, citing his wait for a green card, which has been more than three years now.

"We have an upside-down system that makes it hard for highly talented people to come to America legally, but trivial for criminals to come here illegally. Why is it easier to get in illegally as a murderer than legally as a Nobel Laureate?" the SpaceX CEO said.
