Loomer’s accusations prompted swift rebuttals from prominent figures like David Sacks and Elon Musk. Sacks clarified the nuances of Krishnan’s views, stating, "Point of clarification: Sriram didn’t say he wants to remove all caps on green cards. He said he wants to remove country caps on green cards. Right now, every country in the world gets allocated the same number of green cards, no matter how many qualified applicants it has. So applicants from India have an 11-year wait, whereas applicants from many other countries have no wait at all. Sriram still supports skills-based criteria for receiving a green card, not making the program unlimited."
