As SpaceX CEO Elon Musk whines about the regulatory impasse in approval for Starlink in India, his own political spending in the US have been highlighted by Indian X users, who in response to Musk's 'Prime Minister Ambani' jibe are calling him Trump lackey and 'President Musk'.
Elon Musk claims domestic “oligarchs” like Mukesh Ambani are intentionally blocking Starlink's entry into India. We fact-check his latest social media meltdown against regulatory realities, the myth of an unconnected India, exorbitant data pricing, and the American protectionist hypocrisy driving this narrative.
Elon Musk is turning Starlink’s India licensing dispute into a public pressure campaign, using his vast X influence and assorted anti-Modi baiters to challenge the government and accuse telecom rivals of blocking its entry.
"Unfortunately, we are being blocked by certain oligarchs in order to maintain their monopolistic chokehold on the Indian people. You can guess who they are…This is a crime against the people of India!", Elon Musk tweeted.
