US headed to a dystopian future: Sanjeev Bikhchandani on Musk's 'influence' on US administration

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."
However, former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai disagreed with Bikhchandani and said Musk is doing a great service to the US.

He replied to his post and wrote:
 

Further keeping his point, Bikhchandani explained that his point is simple - 'you are either in government or you are CEO of your companies.'

"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.
