Elon Musk reacts after man finds out he needs 14 years to gain citizenship, stay back in Kolkata: ‘India is realistic’
An Irish man claimed to be in love with India and wanted to become a citizen of the nation. Here's what Grok told him that crushed his dream.
An Irish man seeking Indian citizenship expressed surprise when an AI chatbot told him it would take at least 14 years to become a citizen. The man, who had moved to Kolkata with his family, asked Grok, the AI chatbot, how long citizenship would take. Grok responded that naturalization would require at least 12 years of lawful residence, including a continuous 12-month period, and that India does not allow dual citizenship.
Elon Musk saw the post and praised India, stating "India is realistic." Grok explained the requirements further, including the lack of government financial assistance for new arrivals or non-citizens, and that the family would need to support themselves.
