Elon Musk on Friday praised Indian American Vivek Ramaswamy who is running for US President saying he is a 'very promising candidate'. Reposting Ramaswamy's video with famous TV host Tucker Carlson on X (formerly called Twitter), Musk said that the Indian American candidate is a very promising one as far as the race for the US President chair is concerned. In the video interview, Ramaswamy talks about criticism against him and his claim that the FBI and 9/11 commission did not reveal the complete truth about the terror act.
"He is a very promising candidate," Musk said while reposting the interview. Notably, 37-year-old Vivek Ramaswamy is the youngest Republican presidential candidate in the US.
This comes after over two months when Ramaswamy shared a video on X expressing concerns about billionaires meeting Chinese ministers after Musk took a trip to China.
"I’m breaking an unspoken rule in the GOP, but I call it like I see it: it’s deeply concerning that @elonmusk met with China’s foreign minister yesterday to oppose decoupling and referred to the U.S. & Communist China as “conjoined twins.” Tesla’s VP in China reposted that statement on Weibo in China, but curiously not here in the U.S," he said.
"That tilts the global scales of perception in China’s favor - and sadly, it’s working. The U.S. needs leaders who aren’t in China’s pocket, yet Biden is just another embodiment of that same problem," he said.
'Our Goal Should Be Not Putin To Loose, But America To Win'
In a recent interview with CNN, Ramaswamy opened up about the Russia-Ukraine conflict and said that what he is concerned about is the military alliance between Russia and China. He says that US engagement in Ukraine is further pushing Russia into China's arms.
"The Biden administration is so stubbornly attached to the idea of getting Xi Jinping to Vladimir Putin while I think we need to be doing is give Vladimir Putin to drop Xi Jinping. I will visit Moscow and pull Russia out of its military alliance with China. He said that the Russia-China military alliance is the single big military threat the US faces today," he said in the interview.
On Ukraine-Russia, he said, "I would freeze the current lines of control, and that would leave parts of the Donbas region with Russia" adding "I would also further make a commitment that NATO will not admit Ukraine to NATO. But there are even greater wins that I will get for the United States".
"Our goal should not be for Putin to lose. Our goal should be for America to win," Ramaswamy told CNN Thursday night.
