Indian-American Kashyap "Kash" Patel, nominated as FBI director by US President-elect Donald Trump, joined social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday. Patel’s first post, “Hello X,” garnered over 7M views, while billionaire Elon Musk, Trump's efficiency chief, congratulated him. Patel, born to Gujarati immigrant parents, has a distinguished legal career, serving as a public defender, DOJ prosecutor, and advisor on international terrorism cases. He also played a key role during Trump’s first term. Patel’s nomination comes as Trump prepares for his second term, signaling continued Republican influence over U.S. federal institutions.
