Irish Man Consults AI on Moving to Kolkata; Elon Musk Comments on India
An Irish man named Aidan Joyce engaged with Grok, an AI chatbot by xAI, to inquire about moving permanently to Kolkata, India. He asked about Indian citizenship requirements, welfare support, and property purchase. Grok explained that naturalisation requires at least 12 years of lawful residence, India does not allow dual citizenship, and social welfare benefits are unavailable to new arrivals or non-citizens. Elon Musk, owner of xAI, commented on the exchange, describing India as "realistic" or "practical."
