I'm loving Delhi.
First, a passenger who couldn't wait 20 seconds to get his bag rammed his crotch against my butt.
Then immigration screws me for not filling up the e-arrival card and warns me there are protests in the city.
Then the Metro dude tries to con 150 rupees from me before I gave him that look, like, isn't the ride Rp64? Why so little change?
Then a guy screams F*ck a million times whilst waiting for the train.
Finally I thought being first at the train door meant I go in first. But 6 guys disagreed 😅
Jeez even in an Autocracy like Russia, you don't see founders of tech companies, kissing ass to Putin like these guys do in India
Educated, Brilliant guys like Vembu needing to suck up to half literate politicians....
God save the country 🙏
A lot of ‘patriotic’ Indians are criticising Elon Musk, for interfering in a sovereign nation’s affairs and India’s right to choose who should do business here.
What they don’t understand is, India is nothing but its 1.4 billion Individual citizens, and each one should have a right to choose what he or she wants to buy.
The current ruling regime has taken away that choice and forced a few crony businessmen upon us, for its own political gain.
Elon Musk is right in calling out this naked truth.
@designcoursecom There’s absolutely no justification. It’s a well-known fact that the current govt pretty much runs as per Ambani’s wishes.
Corruption runs so deep in the Indian system that they don’t let anyone do business peacefully.
Some paid trolls might be pushing BYD stories 🤦♂️
Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you 🙏
Starlink is licensed in over 165 countries and has spent five years complying with every single law and requirement of the government of India, so why still no license?
Is Ambani the real boss of India?
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!
Chief Justice of India Surya Kant and Justice Joymalya Bagchi, the judges that made sure the illegal SIR process goes through without any trouble in Bengal and Bihar, must quietly sit this one out.
Even if they choose to do something, they can continue doing it. No one cares. The Supreme Court has been complicit in ensuring that Gen Z’s voting rights are stolen and state elections too. By ensuring that important petitions are not heard and decided in time, like the Maharashtra government toppling, parties being broken up, Delhi constitutional crisis case, the BJP had the last laugh. It’s a big blot on our judiciary.
And so, this Supreme Court Bench may do whatever they want to but it will hold absolutely ZERO CREDIBILITY in people’s eyes.
The accountability will be decided by the people of India, the young generation. The Court can do whatever it wants to do tomorrow or whenever.

No more tweets about E20.
My mileage has dropped to single digits, or barely touching double digits.
And honestly, I think it’s over.
We live in a country where we have hundreds of things to worry about every single day.
The government knows this.
Make enough noise, wait long enough, and people move on. We have jobs, EMIs, kids, parents, health, inflation, taxes… life keeps moving.
That’s probably the real game. Keep people busy enough, and they won’t have the time or energy to fight every battle.
I think Gadkari's politics has come to an end. He, along with Pradhan, has done more damage to this nation and narrative, then whole of BJP combined. This super-confident idiot has fucked this nation's vehicles and then some!
Still, the arrogance, the smug face with which he said 'pure petrol lena hai to 167 ka hai, le lo', can't be forgotten. What an arse!
Living in 100% Amrit Kaal,
driving 80% ethanol cars,
breathing 60% polluted air,
drinking 40% adulterated milk,
in an education system with 20% credibility,
to get killed with 0% dignity, by USA missiles, by mob lynchings, by a badly made bridge or a pothole, or just a stampede.
When you go to Japan and see their Prime Minister waiting for space to join the traffic and come back to India and see, a municipal corporator surrounded by dozens of people in many vehicles, definitely the heart pains.
I've not given up on India. At the same time, as is my view, I'm not very bullish on India too. Not that we would not grow. We would chug along. For us to grow and aim to become developed nation, lot of change in complete mindset is required. Not sure whether we are capable for it as a nation.
