Elon Musk expressed his admiration for Vivek Ramaswamy, an Indian-American lawmaker, who is vying against Donald Trump in the Republican primaries for the upcoming presidential elections. Today Musk tweeted his admiration for Ramaswamy where he lauded this Indian-American lawmaker as a “very promising candidate,” citing his recent interview with journalist Tucker Carlson. See the tweet below:

Ramaswamy’s views on China

Ramaswamy has outlined a clear agenda for his campaign. He has identified China as the top threat to the United States and has proposed a policy of “total de-coupling” from Beijing if he assumes power. He aims to re-engage in trade in the Pacific region and establish trade partnerships with nations such as India, Japan and South Korea.

Earlier, in an interview with Fox News, Ramaswamy unequivocally labeled Xi Jinping as a dictator and China as the primary menace to the US. He emphasised his commitment to achieving economic independence from China as a priority and advocated for severing most business ties with the country. Ramaswamy explained his stance on the matter, asserting that short-term sacrifices could yield long-term gains and that a willingness to sacrifice might ultimately lead to a scenario where sacrifices are unnecessary.
