They tried to send her to Greece to shut her up. I guess they forgot about the Internet.

No worries. The Minister of Truth will clean it up.

It's a hilarious MAGA flame war between Tech Bros and actual Trumpers.

Elon already put it out there that Americans are too retarded to hire, and Vivek put it out there that we do not have a culture that produces smart people only media consumers.

Yet, they both want to gut the Education budgets. Cognitive, meet dissonance.

The irony is inescapable.

India's public expenditure on higher education is approximately 0.6% of its Gross Domestic Product (GDP), whereas the United States allocates about 2.7% of its GDP to this sector.
(HINDUSTAN TIMES)

In terms of per-student spending, the U.S. invests significantly more. In 2019, U.S. expenditures per full-time-equivalent (FTE) student at the postsecondary level were $37,400, more than double the average of OECD countries ($18,400).
(NATIONAL CENTER FOR EDUCATION STATISTICS)

In contrast, India's per-student expenditure is considerably lower, reflecting the overall lower spending on higher education. Additionally, India's total government expenditure on education as a percentage of GDP has been between 4.1% and 4.6% from 2015 to 2024, meeting international recommendations.

apnews.com

... An online spat between factions of Donald Trump's supporters over immigration and the tech industry has thrown internal divisions in his political movement into public display, previewing the fissures and contradictory views his coalition could bring to the White House.
