The appointment of Indian-origin entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan to a key AI advisory role in the incoming Trump administration has sparked significant controversy. Elon Musk has supported the appointment and advocated for increased immigration to address the shortage of skilled tech workers in the country.

An X user shared a post mocking Sriram Krishnan by comparing him to butter chicken, a dish commonly associated with Indian cuisine. The post featured two images: one of Krishnan and another AI-generated picture where his facial features were replaced with the popular dish.
