New Delhi: Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk is impressed at the way Indian-origin people have taken over as CEOs of most of the top tech companies, as well as some of the non-tech organisations, and the list is only growing.
By holding top positions, the Indian-origin people are earning millions of dollars which puts them among the highest paid CEOs in the US. When the World of Statistics posted on X (formerly Twitter) the list of Indian-origin people at top companies, Musk reacted late on Saturday: ‘Impressive’. His followers reacted, saying ‘Indians are some of the hardest working people’. India is even the ‘CEO of Moon’s South Pole,’ a Musk follower chuckled, after the country successfully landed its Chandrayaan-3 Moon mission.
