đźđłâïžđșđžâMaybe ask Meta, #ElonMusk ,#TimCook : War of words after Navarro reposts âtariff foreign remote workersâ post đ»đŒ
đ„ A social media war has erupted after former White House adviser Peter Navarro reposted a call to tariff foreign remote workers, sparking backlash from Indian experts.
đČ It began when alt-right figure Jack Posobiec tweeted:
"Foreign remote workers should be tariffed. Outsourcing must be taxed like goods."
Navarro reposted the tweet, signaling support, with a cryptic: âItâs happening.â
đšïž In response, Indian IPR attorney Navroop Singh fired back:
"Maybe ask Meta, Elon Musk, Tim Cook â these bullying tactics wonât work!"
He warned that India could reintroduce the Digital Services Tax on Big Tech.
đ Singhâs sharp counterpoints:
đźđł India is the largest consumer market with 1.4B people
đźđł Hosts OpenAIâs biggest office, $6B Google investment, and iPhone 17 is now Made in India
đźđł Economy is consumption-based, not vulnerable like export-heavy China
đ„ He even mentioned:
âAsk Sam Altman if ChatGPT wants to lose Indiaâs market.â
đ The comments come amid rising tensions as Trumpâs administration imposes >50% tariffs on Indian goods â second only to Brazil. Strategic analyst Ashley Tellis blames Navarro for damaging US-India ties, pushing India closer to rivals like Russia and China.
đ§ Core issue? Trumpâs resentment over not getting credit for mediating India-Pakistan tensions earlier this year.
â ïž As tech giants double down on India, this online battle is more than just tweets â itâs about who controls the digital future.
