When people have a free choice, they choose BYD over Tesla.

The American govt blocks BYD sales in the US to protect the sales of Elon's inferior Teslas.

Don't Americans deserve high-quality and affordable cars?

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

The ridiculous arguments by Ambani’s army of Internet shills make no sense

On the one hand, they say Starlink couldn’t possibly compete with the amazing low prices offered by Ambani’s de facto monopoly in India and then, in the same breath, they essentially claim that Starlink would be too strong of a competitor! This is absurd hypocrisy and hyperbole.

The reality is that competition would greatly benefit the average citizen in India by giving them more choices, as it always does. Ambani’s profits will be lower, but he is not going out of business. And, obviously, if Starlink is too expensive in India, no one will buy it, so SpaceX will need to make pricing affordable.

@cb_doge 95% of Americans don't have access to electric cars.

Yet to protect Tesla's business interests, the US doesn't allow China's BYD to sell its better and cheaper cars to Americans.

Don't Americans deserve better electric cars and a cleaner environment?

[The Daily Switch @TheDailySwitch]

Less than 3% of Americans use Starlink.

The number will be less than 0.1% in India, if it's ever allowed.

So it's not about the money, or the business.

You're not particularly charitable, so it's not to help Indian people.

So why are you so keen on having Starlink in India?

Elon, the benefits of Starlink would be low, like you yourself admit. But the downsides of having a fickle foreign oligarch control our internet is far greater -- India has caught too many insurgents in border areas with Starlink devices to take the risk.

Elon Musk is getting several paid tweets done by Indians in support of Starlink.

But @elonmusk please tell your team to check past tweets of those people about Starlink 😂

[The Daily Switch @TheDailySwitch]

Elon Musk was already hated by India's left.

Now he's also hated by India's right lol.

[Elon Musk @elonmusk]

Starlink in India would enable high-speed, affordable Internet connectivity for those who can’t afford current prices or who don’t have a connection at all!

Did you know that the Editor-In-Chief of Indian Express, Raj Kamal Jha, is the cousin of former Congress leader Sanjay Jha?
