Elon Musk is playing with fire 🔥

India is one of X's biggest user bases. A ban in India by MODI Government would wipe out millions of X’s users, advertisers & creators overnight, and a huge chunk of revenue with them.
It will be a huge monetary loss for X ( Twitter) and its Market-cap might crash by over 50% overnight
@grok how much would X lose in users & ad revenue if banned in India? Give figures with facts 📉

@Sachindian He is a matured and respected businessman

[Aarushi Sharma 🇮🇳🇮🇳 @aarushisharmaX]

Elon Musk's Starlink India pitch raises a question about business ethics that has nothing to do with whether Starlink is good.

Competition is definitely good for a fair market . Rural connectivity matters. Disaster response matters. I agree with all of it.

But look at the method he is using.
A businessman wanting regulatory approval publicly addressed a head of government, in a post seen 110M times, on a platform he personally owns. Then he called his critics an 'army of shills,' with no evidence offered.

Ask yourself:

1Would any other founder get 110M impressions for a lobbying pitch? Or is that reach a private advantage nobody else can buy?
2Is it ethical to use a public square you control as a pressure tool in your own commercial negotiation?
3If a newspaper owner ran front-page campaigns for his own business, we'd call it a conflict of interest. Why is it 'free speech' when it's a timeline?
4Calling opponents paid shills is a convenient way to avoid answering their arguments.

Business ethics isn't just about what you want. It's about whether you use power that others don't have, and whether you're willing to argue on a level field.

Starlink may well deserve to compete in India. But that case should be won on merit, not megaphone.

Where do we draw the line? 👇

किसी को खुश करने के लिए कभी अपने संस्कार और आत्म-सम्मान (Self-Respect) से समझौता मत करो। 🔱
जो रिश्ता आपको अपनी ही नज़र में छोटा कर दे, वो रिश्ता कभी आपका हो ही नहीं सकता।

@Sridhar11MUSD @mediacrooks @BJP4India So with your logic by how much amount BJP was drained by banning the Chinese Giant TIKTOK ?

India is not a market where Elon can Tweet into :-

[Aarushi Sharma 🇮🇳🇮🇳 @aarushisharmaX]

Reality check for @elonmusk 🧵

Starlink Alaska: ₹12,428/month + ₹1.43 lakh setup
Indian JIO/Airtel broadband: ₹599/month + ₹1,000 setup

That's 20x monthly, 143x upfront. 😭 . Too costly to afford for a price sensitive market like India

Bangladesh: ~5,400 Starlink users in a year.

Tesla India: ~1,000 cars in 13 months.

India isn't a market you can tweet your way into Elon .

Jio charges ₹599, not "Mars pricing." 🚀💸

@PiratePatriot47 So ask Elon to stop crying so loudly for a india license

[Aarushi Sharma 🇮🇳🇮🇳 @aarushisharmaX]

@WhaleLandUtahni Don’t try to change topic

[Aarushi Sharma 🇮🇳🇮🇳 @aarushisharmaX]

This American guy tried to target “ HINDUS “ living in India and questioned our Network Infrastructure but Grok cooked him .

In short :- India don’t needs starlink as Jio/Airtel are capable players and also in neighbouring countries Starlink has not crossed yet the 5000 subscribers benchmark due to HIGH COST .
Few months ago Elon Musk TESLA did a Failed launch in india and was not able to sell even 1000 Teslas .

India is a PRICE SENSITIVE MARKET and india can eat hundreds of Wallmarts just for the sake of example.

India holds up Starlink and suddenly Musk fans are "outraged" 😂
1.4 billion people with phones, Cokes, Nikes & Netflix. Imagine if we went 🇺🇸-free for a month. Apple, Google, Amazon, Tesla, McD's… your "empire" runs on our wallets. Think before you tweet, not after. 🇮🇳

Jio/Airtel already covers 98% of entire india
Only 2% mountain terrains and some jungle area might be unconnected but Jio/Airtel are capable players and are already working on it
India is a Price sensitive market so there is no place for Luxury Starlink services

Starlink tried in bangladesh but is yet to cross the 5000 subscriber benchmark so basically there are no takers here

[Aarushi Sharma 🇮🇳🇮🇳 @aarushisharmaX]

यह देख लो भारतवासियो स्टारलिंक का असली चेहरा
पूरी लुटेरी कंपनी है यह

अभी बोलो क्या चाहिए अपुन को ?

1) STARLINK
or
2) JIO/AIRTEL

Starlink (@Starlink ) is charging a massive $1,500 "Demand Surcharge" just to sign up. 🔥

That's over ₹1.3 lakh in indian currency More than half of an average Indian's yearly income, for internet.

India is a price-sensitive market. 1.4 billion people won't pay this. Elon Musk (@elonmusk ) should understand that before he plays games with us 🇮🇳

Period .

@grok how many Indians can afford ₹1.3 lakh upfront + $130/month-equivalent for internet? Give figures with facts 📉
