New Delhi, 18 Aug, (VNI) According to media reports Elon Musk Commends Indian-American Candidate's Bid for US Presidency In a recent development, Elon Musk shared positive remarks about Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American contender in the United States presidential race. The magnate behind X, formerly known as Twitter, expressed his views in response to an interview involving the Republican figurehead and former Fox News anchor Tucker Carlson.

In a separate context, Elon Musk, who also engaged with China's Foreign Minister, revealed plans to expand business ventures in China and acknowledged the nation's "vitality and potential."
