While Elon Musk may not have directly expressed his views on India, he has consistently displayed admiration for different elements of Indian culture.
In a recent tweet, Musk couldn't contain his excitement for Indian cuisine, particularly expressing his delight in the flavours of butter chicken and naan. Just two days ago, when a Twitter user praised the delicious combination of butter chicken and naan, Musk wholeheartedly agreed, indicating that he has also relished these appetizing dishes. Butter chicken and naan are well-known and widely enjoyed as popular components of North Indian cuisine, and it seems that Musk has also appreciated their culinary delights.
In a recent interaction on Twitter, a user posted a picture of butter chicken and naan, accompanied by the statement, "I love basic Indian food, it's so insanely good." Elon Musk responded with a concise "True," indicating his definite enjoyment of this popular Indian dish and endorsing its taste. This is not the first instance of Musk praising something related to India, as he had previously expressed admiration for Parag Agrawal when Agrawal became the CEO of Twitter.
Parag Agrawal made history in November 2021 by becoming the first Indian CEO of Twitter. This remarkable accomplishment placed him alongside other Indian-origin CEOs in leading technology companies, including Sundar Pichai of Google, Satya Nadella of Microsoft, Arvind Krishna of IBM, and more.
Elon Musk, who had previously spoken positively about Agrawal, experienced a notable change in their relationship overnight. When Agrawal's appointment as CEO was announced, Musk took to Twitter to express his belief that the talent of Indians greatly benefits the United States.
Nevertheless, Elon Musk personally removed Parag Agrawal from his position when he took control of Twitter. Despite any disagreements or conflicts, they may have had, Musk acknowledged in his tweet that India is a country that harbours highly skilled and talented individuals.
Elon Musk, during his visit, was captivated by the grandeur of the Taj Mahal's architectural marvel and couldn't resist expressing his awe. In response to a tweet praising Mughal architecture, Musk shared his personal experience and wrote, “It is amazing. I visited in 2007 and also saw the Taj Mahal, which truly is a wonder of the world."
