NEW YORK – Tech billionaire Elon Musk recently in a social media post on X praised Indo-Americans for succeeding beautifully in America and pointed out how immigrants have fared well in the US by sharing a statistic that showed median household income of various ethnic groups that have migrated to the US.

The infographic, based on data from the US Census Bureau focusing solely on Asian immigrant groups, showed Indo-Americans have one of the highest median annual household incomes at $119,858, followed by Taiwanese Americans, Chinese and Japanese Americans.

The data set also showed that Pakistani-Americans have a median household income of $77,315, ranking fifth in the table. The data set also contained the median household incomes of Filipino, Korean, Cambodian, Hmong and Vietnamese Americans.

All of them showed that their median household income is higher than that of White Americans who $65,902.

 “Wow, America really is the land of opportunity!” Musk, an immigrant himself who immigrated from South Africa, said.

Musk’s argument appears to be that the Left does not include pay, wage or income statistics of Asian immigrant communities because it does not add to their narrative that race and gender play a crucial role in income inequality.

Musk has earlier also posted similar posts on X.

When a fellow X user replied to his post by saying, “That destroys the mainstream media and the Leftist narrative”, the billionaire replied by saying ‘Yup’.

Tom Chiang Jr, a sociologist and Florida resident, in an article for the American Sociological Association’s journal Contexts attributed the success of Indian-Americans to favourable immigration policies.

“Unprecedented economic success among Indian Americans could be partly attributed to the United States’ immigration policies favourable to immigrants who were already highly educated before coming to the United States,” he said in his paper.
