Twitter user Puneet Sahani told Musk that his mother and mother-in-law are better cooks. He invited Musk to dinner.
The Indian food you grew up in South Africa probably doesn’t come close to what my mom (non-vegetarian) or my mother-in-law (vegetarian) can cook right away.
And I can testify that they find heretics more endearing than annoying.
You are welcome to bring your own meals if you wish.— Puneet Sahani (@puneet_sahani) May 16, 2023
