An American tech enthusiast’s playful social media post about receiving a long-term visa to India has captured widespread attention, particularly among Indian users. Klor Anthony Louis, popularly known online as Tony Klor, took to X to celebrate his newly approved five-year B-1 visa to India.
‘Trump Says Go Kick Rocks, Modi Says Welcome Home’
In his post, he expressed enthusiasm over India’s openness to global talent in emerging sectors such as blockchain and artificial intelligence. He also drew a cheeky comparison between Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and U.S. President Donald Trump, writing: “It’s official! India is opening its doors to foreign blockchain & AI builders. I’ve just been granted a girthy 5-year India visa.” He added, “Trump says foreigners go kick rocks. Modi says welcome home bhai.”
A X user said, “Deeply honest here, as someone who studies and works alongside many brilliant Indians in top U.S. universities: I truly believe India has some of the most intelligent minds in tech, AI, and engineering. If those talents focus on building and innovating within India, I can’t imagine the scale of progress.”
It’s official! India is opening its doors to foreign blockchain & AI builders.
