Sriram Krishnan, former Andreessen Horowitz general partner, has been named Trump's senior policy advisor for AI.

Trump’s new senior AI policy advisor Sriram Krishnan’s appointment has reignited the debate around skilled immigration.

Indian-American entrepreneur Sriram Krishnan, chosen by US President-elect Donald Trump as his Senior Policy Advisor on Artificial Intelligence, has been subjected to racist online attacks by far-right members over his views on immigration.

Sriram Krishnan, US President-elect Donald Trump's pick as Senior White House Policy Advisor for AI, faced backlash on social media. A user asked in a post on X whether people voted for Sriram Krishnan to run America.

Critics from the far-right, particularly those aligned with MAGA ideologies, viewed Krishnan as a symbol of Silicon Valley elitism and a proponent of immigration policies that they claim disadvantage American workers.

In a post on X, Dmitry Shevelenko thanked his company's CEO Aravind Srinivas, an Indian immigrant in the United States, for employing him and creating over 100 jobs.

The American far-right accused Krishnan and other Indian Americans of "stealing jobs from Americans" and questioned the high-skilled immigration through the H-1B program

Although Trump pick Sriram Krishnan found support in fellow 2.0 nominee David Sacks and US Rep Ro Khanna, MAGA significantly turned against him.
