In a surprising and bizarre turn of events, jailed conman Sukesh Chandrashekhar has expressed his intention to invest an astonishing USD 2 billion (approximately ₹1,74,38,74,26,000) in Elon Musk’s social media platform, X. Currently in judicial custody at Mandoli jail in Delhi, Chandrashekhar penned a letter to Musk, praising him and outlining his ambitious investment proposal.
In his letter, Chandrashekhar congratulated Musk on his recent appointment as the head of the US Department of Governmental Efficiency (DOGE), a title believed to be a humorous reference to the meme cryptocurrency Dogecoin. Describing Musk as a “revolutionary,” Chandrashekhar stated, “You are the Man.”
He continued his letter with excessive admiration, referring to Musk as “solid, Tankman, Bulletproof.” Chandrashekhar expressed his admiration for Musk’s accomplishments and stated that becoming a part of X’s growth would be the “craziest and greatest” experience for him.
*The Investment Proposal*
Chandrashekhar outlined his plan to invest USD 1 billion immediately, followed by another USD 1 billion next year, totalling USD 2 billion. He emphasized that his investment was not based on any valuation of X but on his belief in the platform’s future success under Musk’s leadership.
“The investment of the above-mentioned amount is not under any valuation of X, but it’s an investment on what remarkable turn of fortune the company is going to achieve under your leadership,” Chandrashekhar wrote. “The bet is always on you, and I surely know X’s value is going to rise to unexpected heights.”
*A Personal Touch*
Adding a personal element to his letter, Chandrashekhar mentioned that X was his and his “Lady Love’s” favourite social media platform. This reference is believed to be to Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez, with whom Chandrashekhar has frequently written letters from prison and claimed to be in a relationship.
*An Attempt to Rebrand?*
Chandrashekhar used the letter to address his own reputation, acknowledging that many people are judgmental about him but asserting that he always proves them wrong. “For me, now money and success are too boring, it’s too easy. But failure, that’s a secret. Rising up stronger from the ashes of failure is something that gives you the best high,” he wrote.
The conman’s bold investment offer and extravagant praise for Musk have raised eyebrows, adding another chapter to the series of unexpected events surrounding Sukesh Chandrashekhar.
