Hey @elonmusk you attacked 1.4 billion Indians, not Mr.Ambani.
It does not insult Mr Ambani or Reliance; it berates 1.4 billion Indians & the world’s largest democracy! We have a DEMOCRATICALLY elected PM & everyone knows who he is, including Mr.Musk, and his name is NOT Ambani.
I rubbed my eyes twice and wondered if Elon's X account had been hacked. For a man of his standing to even post something like this is pathetic.
Before I discuss the larger issues on hand, let us first understand the STARLINK facts -
1. STARLINK has had a GMPCS license in India since 2025
2. Starlink was granted in-space authorisation in Jul 25
3. As per Starlink officials, Starlink India was being set up (Jan 2026)
4. Starlink's application is now stuck at the security clearance stage, along with Jio SES and One Web, belonging to Reliance and Airtel respectively.
So what is Elon crying about?
India will do what is best for her security, sovereignty, and integrity. Just because you are the richest doesnt mean you can buy India!
We have the cheapest data packages in the world & we dont want to pay more; we also dont want our nation to lose out on national security issues. A prudent businessman would have stood along with the other two companies who are being shut out with you, not fought them.
Let me only say, that your tweet has UNITED many more Indians behind our Prime Minister @narendramodi than before.
This, coupled with the US Govt's actions against Indian IT companies & the US move on Russian Oil, makes it obvious what is happening.
Elon, we dont see the US allowing BYD into the US, do we ? or is that fair trade ? Have you heard of "Connected car ban" or should we just assume that it was tesla that forced that ?
Hey, what about tax credit bans (FEOC rules) against Chinese EV battery manufacturers who dont get the Federal EV tax credit, so only a special US EV maker gets it ? Cozy isnt it ??
Dear @RahulGandhi, you may have been too young to remember, but do read about an Iron Lady of India, Mrs.Gandhi, who, it seems, only shared a name with you.
When pushed & harangued by Nixon & Kissinger in 1971, she spoke in French, and then walked out of the White House, rather than be insulted by trash.
She flew back to India and called opposition leaders, including Vajpayee ji, to form a consensus for the 1971 war; that is Nationalism, a concept too alien to you.
When she thought it was necessary, she exploded Pokhran and faced global sanctions but did it for the country.
Your own party had a different stance on Starlink in India, and now you're siding with Musk over their security clearance? (Or are you wishing this was those 2G scam days of UPA? )
Shameful is all I can say.
India has her own security considerations and will take her own time to decide.

The worst argument is that Starlink will help in Education for poor in India. No poor will be able to afford your Starlink.
Ambani gave cheap internet to crores of people.
Youths are spending whole day watching or making reels.
If you want to sell internet, just sell it as internet plan.
WiFi doesn't mean education. People watch Netflix and chill.
Dear Elon,
India is a sovereign country, not your personal business project. You run a private company, not a charity.
Just because you want to enter the Indian market doesn't mean you get to mock people and lecture India on what it should do.
And please stop selling this idea that you are coming to save poor Indians. Starlink is VERY expensive. It's not free internet that you are giving away out of kindness.
You are here to do business, just like every other company. So let's not pretend this is some social service.
Nobody is stopping you from making an offer. Make it affordable, follow Indian rules, and let the government decide. That's how it works.
Please keep attitude in check, you just sell internet. You don't own India.
One of the best parts of watching movies is discovering new music. Nothing like hearing a song for the first time and instantly knowing it’s going on your playlist. 😊
The world is bigger than your country’s music scene. Explore music from different places—you might stumble across a sound your soul has been longing for. 🌍🎶
I don’t know that this is how being consistently active on X will turn out to be, because why am I brainstorming what to post while I’m in the bathroom? 😭
