Conman Sukesh Offers $2 Billion Investment For X, Sends Letter To Elon Musk From Jail

The world's richest man has received an investment offer of $2 billion from a conman jailed in India in a multi-crore fraud case. Sukesh Chandrashekhar, who is lodged in Delhi's Mandoli jail, said in a letter to Elon Musk he wants to invest $1 billion right away in his microblogging platform X, formerly Twitter, and another $1 billion in the coming year. If accepted, he said, the investment would make him a "proud Indian".

"I am taking this Privilege and Pride today to say, Hey Elon, I am ready and wanting to invest '1 Billion USD' immediately and another '1 Billion USD' next year in your Company X, making a total '2 Billion USD' as investment," the letter read, adding that it was not an undervaluation of the platform.

Chandrashekhar called Musk "my man" and President Donald Trump "big brother" in the letter, congratulating the X owner over his leadership in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) that has been tasked by Trump to cut government spending.
