Info Edge and Naukri founder Sanjeev Bikhchandani said that USA is headed to a dystopian future as the 'influence' of billionaire Elon Musk is 'wielding in and over' the US administration.
In a post on X, Bikhchandani compared today's US with three hundred years ago India.
He wrote, "Almost three hundred years ago India and Indians witnessed and experienced the negative impact of a private company taking over a country, a people and a government. The US is going through shades of that now given the influence that Elon Musk is wielding in and over the US administration. This will not have a good outcome. The US is headed to a dystopian future."

He replied to his post and wrote:
Sanjeev pl read your history. The EIC ruled a country with a military and they made laws. Elon is helping his president, doing work under his directions, that too a President like Donald Trump who is very clear he is the President. Bad example. Elon is doing a great service to https://t.co/lEdVpFCwcP

Further keeping his point, Bikhchandani explained that his point is simple - 'you are either in government or you are CEO of your companies.'
My point is simple - you are either in government or you are CEO of your companies. You cannot be doing both at the same time. He cannot be meeting visiting Prime Ministers as a private company CEO advocating his interests on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and be in government pic.twitter.com/hvC9Ybl0ZY

"Such a thing would never happen in India. You would never have the founder promoter and CEO of a listed company be a Cabinet Minister three days a week and be discharging his or her duties in the company two days a week," he said replying to his post on X. "In this aspect India seems to be better governed than the USA. You are either running a private company or you are running the government. You cannot be running both," he added.
