Elon, you've officially run out of arguments. Now every Indian who disagrees with you is "Ambani's shill."

Nobody said Starlink is too strong. Nobody's scared of your competition. India's problem is you. A Pentagon contractor building Trump's Golden Dome wants to run internet over Indian soil, and he throws a tantrum every time someone asks who holds the off switch.

Ambani's de facto monopoly?

You SIGNED A DEAL with that monopoly in March 2025 to sell Starlink in India. You didn't have a problem with Ambani when he was your reseller.

You only discovered his monopoly when Jio announced its own satellites.

And let's talk about hypocrisy.

Tesla's biggest factory is in Shanghai. Starlink is banned in China. Have you ever called Xi Jinping a monopolist?

Called Chinese critics shills? Written a sarcastic letter to Prime Minister Xi?

No.

Because Beijing would shut your factory by Monday. India can't, so India gets the insults.

now the math your own fans keep posting starlink could add 100–200 million Indian homes. Starlink is approved for 600 Gbps over India. Split across 100 million homes, that's 6 kilobits per second each. Your revolution is slower than a 1998 dial-up modem. 🤡

If it's too expensive, no one will buy it.

Your own India website showed ₹8,600 a month. A Jio plan costs ₹349. Indians already ran the numbers.

Five days of meltdown. Crime against India. Prime Minister Ambani. collages. And now shills.

The richest man on earth, crying on his own app because a sovereign country wants a security check.

Sit down, elon. Finish the paperwork. India isn't a tesla shareholder you can bully on X.

Mr. Musk, yes, no billionaire should dictate a nation’s policy - Indian or American.

India must welcome competition in satellite internet, from Indian and global providers, whoever offers the most practical and affordable last-mile solution for those in remote regions. In countries with lower per-capita incomes, satellite internet must be affordable too. High subscription fees and equipment costs risk putting it beyond the reach of ordinary households. Connectivity must bridge the digital divide, not create a new one.

India knows our networks and spectrum are strategic infrastructure, not merely commercial assets. India’s national security safeguards are non-negotiable.

Every country makes choices based on its own interests. Those in the West cannot preach free markets while practicing protectionism at home. USA imposed 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs to protect its domestic industry, just as India takes measures to protect its own domestic manufacturers. Both India and the US have restricted Huawei over security concerns. One cannot demand a level playing field from others only when it suits its own agenda.

Indians will internally debate, question and address our strengths and shortcomings as a democratic country.

Take BharatNet, India’s programme to bring broadband to village-level local bodies. We will question why, as the CAG’s 2026 audit report found, the programme is struggling to meet its original objectives. Why were only 33.2% of service-ready Gram Panchayats operational, despite ₹39,888 crore being spent? At the same time, we know to appreciate our telecom sector and regulations, which has made internet data among the world’s most affordable, bringing millions online.

India is a democracy, not a colony. We welcome the world, but we, the Indian people, will decide our own future - not Western vested interests, their double standards or any billionaire - Indian or American.

🚨 In 2026, the US bond market is CRUSHING the Nifty.

• US 10-year yield at 5.28%, highest since 2002
• Dollar at ₹96.31
• FPIs sold ₹36,000 crore in one month

But every screener says the Nifty is "cheap" at 19 PE.

Here's what the same PE hid in 2020, 2022 and 2025 🧵

Seems the Centre is misjudging the public mood right now. Why else introduce a fee on UPI and make things worse for your own standing?

Sure, running UPI costs money, no one expects it to be entirely free. But the cash-heavy system we had before cost significantly more. In reality, UPI saves the govt far more money than it takes to maintain.

Think of it like this: You used to pay ₹1,500 a month to ride a crowded bus. Then you switched to the metro, which costs only ₹800 a month. Instead of being happy that you're saving ₹700 every month and getting a better ride, you start complaining about spending ₹800. That’s exactly what’s happening here. The govt is complaining about the visible maintenance cost of UPI while completely ignoring the massive savings and value it has gained.

By shifting millions of transactions online, UPI reduced tax evasion, boosted compliance, and expanded the formal economy. It slashed cash-handling costs like printing, transport, and security, while ensuring cleaner, leak-proof welfare payouts. Its digital trail suppresses black money and fraud.

So why ruin one of the most successful systems India has ever built? The claim that merchants will absorb the cost instead of consumers is absurd. There isn't a single fee or tax levied on businesses in India that doesn't ultimately get passed down to the buyer. A 0.4% fee, even capped at ₹300 per transaction, will simply be tacked onto consumer bills, driving people right back to using cash.

Lo poético de este gol fue ver que Molina empuja a Williams (los argentinos se la vivieron haciendo esto durante todo el mundial sabiendo que el arbitraje estaba a su favor) pero eso termina ayudándolo para poder dar la asistencia.

Justicia divina.

🚨 Rio Ferdinand on Rodri winning Player of the Tournament ahead of Messi:

🗣️ Reporter:
“Some people believe Messi deserved the award.”

🗣️ Rio:

“Messi had a fantastic tournament. Nobody’s denying that. But I think football has done itself a favour here. Somewhere along the line, we started acting like midfielders & defenders had to score goals before people noticed they were the best players on the pitch.

Rodri reminded everyone that football is still a team game. He didn’t spend the tournament trying to be Messi. He spent it being the best Rodri possible.

He controlled games, kept Spain in possession, made the right pass almost every time and turned defending into keeping the ball away from the opposition.

The best player isn’t always the one who produces the most highlights. Sometimes it’s the one who quietly makes everyone else’s highlights possible.

Rodri didn’t win this award because he scored the most goals. He won it because he mastered the one job Spain needed more than any other and football rewarded him for it.”

Lo de la @Argentina (@AFA) es la definición de antifútbol y mal perder. No supieron ganar en el campo y han demostrado una falta de dignidad absoluta fuera de él. Dar la espalda y negar el aplauso a la @SEFutbol es una actitud marrullera, tosca e inaceptable para profesionales.

[The Athletic | Football @TheAthleticFC]

If England thought Argentina got away with a lot in the semi-final... well, we're moving into new territory here.

Spain didn’t necessarily have the individual stars this tournament…

Messi, Mbappe, Haaland, Bellingham…

But to destroy France in the semi-finals, and destroy Argentina in all but scoreline in the final… what a team.

Rodri and Yamal deserve endless praise, but for me I’ll remember this tournament for the periphery players… Porro, Ruiz, Cubarsi and of course Ferran Torres for his moment in the final.

They haven’t lot a competitive game since 2023. Proper footballing outfit 👏

2 - Aymeric Laporte and Pau Cubarsí are the two defenders with the most line breaking passes at the 2026 World Cup:

91 for Laporte
83 for Cubarsí

[Dougie Critchley @DougieCritchley]

It’s crazy how similar this tournament is to 2010…

Spain win the competition, after failing to win their first game…

Triumphing in the final, with an extra-time goal against vastly inferior opposition, that cannot live with their possession based style and who resort to violent behaviour in an effort to stop them!

[Stereotypewriter @babumoshoy]

Shame on FIFA. The record profit can never gloss over the blatant political interference, ill-treatment of certain teams and their fans, alienation of common fans, and poor refereeing bordering on rigging — all of which will continue to be discussed for years to come.
