Elon Musk responds to racist image of Indian-descended White House advisor likened to butter chicken
An X user posted a mockery that compares Sriram Krishnan to butter chicken, which is widely recognized as a dish from Indian culinary traditions. The post included two visuals: one depicting Krishnan and another that was AI-created, substituting his facial characteristics with the well-known dish.
The election of Donald Trump as President and his selection of Sriram Krishnan, who has Indian roots, as the Senior White House Policy Advisor for Artificial Intelligence has ignited extensive discussions. While conversations have focused on Krishnan's contentious opinions regarding immigration and green card limitations, a racist tweet on X (previously known as Twitter) aimed at him has sparked intense condemnation. An X user shared a post ridiculing Krishnan by likening him to butter chicken, a dish that is generally associated with Indian food. The post included two images: one of Krishnan and another AI-generated image that altered his facial features to resemble the beloved dish. The caption stated, “Here is what Sriram Krishnan would look like if he was butter chicken.”
