Extremely poor from President Musk, who ensured BYD didn’t enter the US for fear of his Tesla sales crumbling . And here making an issue out of our right for national security. A great entrepreneur but a v bitter man. Earlier went after Trump claiming his name is in Epstein files only to calm down later to ensure his business doesn’t suffer. Lol Musk.
Hello, President of America @elonmusk, don’t cross the line. There’s something called RESPECT, and no amount of power or wealth puts anyone above it.
Just because many of us support Starlink doesn’t mean we will let you undermine the country. Don’t mistake our support for your company as permission to cross the line.
@realDonaldTrump, please resign and let @elonmusk take over. At this point, the circus is getting out of control!
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.

India has the among the lowest data prices in the world. It is so good that I don't even bother to connect to local Wifi when I travel in India and just tether my phone to work on my computer. Indians routinely have dual SIM phones with large data plans because they are so affordable. Ambani's launch of Jio is directly responsible for the low data prices Indians enjoy.
India has among the lowest drug prices in the world (and going lower still). People who visit India buy medicines to take home quite regularly now.
India has among the lowest cost payment systems in the world in UPI.
On the other hand, Tesla is protected from Chinese competition in the US market, keeping EV prices higher in America than elsewhere.
Prime Minister Modi has worked hard to create a competitive economy where the benefits flow to the average Indian. His government does not tolerate monopolies. He has also actively promoted and encouraged a massive surge in startups and that is the best signal of a highly competitive economy.
Directly due to Modi government policy, Indian startups are making major advances in low cost rockets and that poses a threat to SpaceX the same say the Chinese EVs threaten Tesla.
These are the facts Elon.
@elonmusk Dear President Musk, why is Starlink not pushed in China and Russia as much as you are desperate to push it in India?? Is it because your baby boss will be upset??
Dear President Musk, Please allow Chinese BYD in America why should TESLA have the monopoly in the game. My Monopoly is Oligarchy and Your Monopoly is National Security !
Sadda Kutta Kutta tuhada kutta Tommy 🐶
This is the White House going full on Modi after India refused to budge on Trade Deal. MEA & FM both cleared stance and now just like Bessent did on Russian Oil arbitrage last year, Elon is now naming Mukesh Ambani while fact is none of the players have so far got commercial license and security clearance.
Jio, One Web by Airtel and Starlink all are waiting in line. This sudden outburst of Elon against India is managed by White House. I would anyday trust Jio & Airtel over Starlink having my data and causing chaos just like it did in Iran & Ukraine in regime change ops. Americans are really pissed off with India.
This is how a Traitor looks like guys
Doesn't matter to him that what are security issues
Safety of Indians
Cost to India
That's why it's important to raise a son well
But then we all know who raised him!!
With this kind of talent and approach, even if the government topples and Rahul Gandhi is the only politician left in the race for PM, he would still somehow remain the Leader of the Opposition.
Doesnt gets more clear than this ! Trump White House has now weighed in ! Turbulence ahead ! Disgraceful of LoP to back Musk’s accusation. Does he back Starlink misuse like Iran, Ukraine, Brazil & Bangladesh !
