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.

Suddenly this mis-info is again trending on X. And American handles, who know India very well, are spreading it deliberately without context.

Facts:

- The voter rolls revision, called SIR, was done after a delay of 23 years.

- It is a constitutional requirement.

- In those 23 years, 110 million+ Indians died at the minimum.

- And tens of millions more Indians migrated or left India.

- Also, the removal is not yet final. Only a draft has been done and it goes through its own constitutional process of corrections.

- While due to the extent of the exercise and manual labor involved enrolling nearly 1 billion voters, there have been cases of genuine voters being left out, all of them can get themselves registered as long as they are legal residents of India with valid IDs.

- These foreign DS media and agents are crying because their main tool to manipulate elections in India - illegal and fake voters are being captured and rooted out now.

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.

జీవితమే కొత్త ఆశ.

Important post from Meta engineer Arnav Gupta on all the AI-led layoffs.

"The layoffs will continue till we learn to use AI" is his title and Gemini(!) correctly identified it as coming from, "The beatings will continue until morale improves".

https://t.co/nkqzwwJ4ZA

As he explains well, AI has increased costs massively for all tech companies. Our own AI bill is skyrocketing and to add insult to injury, server prices have gone up 200-300% in a year because the AI infrastructure boom is consuming all the advanced memory chips.

So these layoffs are the economic response by tech companies to control the main cost they control (people) to pay for AI and servers.

Of course most are spinning it as the result of the "AI productivity miracle" but reality is more cost control than a productivity miracle, at least not yet.

Now let me go back to using AI to generate even more code, so that we don't fall behind all the other guys generating massive amounts of code 😅

[Sridhar Vembu @svembu]

Let me state these clearly.

I believe the @TVKVijayHQ won a clear mandate and should form the government. Anything else is against the will of the people.

If the arithmetic in the assembly does not work, instead of endless horse trading, fresh polls are the best and I believe TVK will win a super majority. So it is in the interest of other parties to avoid fresh polls because they are likely to lose seats to TVK.

I don't say all these as a TVK supporter. I say these as someone who loves Tamil Nadu and Bharat. My personal political preferences are irrelevant here.

I remain a strong proud nationalist. It is the strength of our nation that a new party won so much support. I hope a good solution is found soon and TVK forms the government, as that is the will of the people🙏

Ananthan's journey.

His politics is based on extensive social service.

Even after losing the election, he will continue his work and will do far more for the constituency and the region than most people who win.

Here is what I tell our software engineers on how to thrive in the AI era: be very good domain experts. Programming skills are the foundation (and we definitely don't want to lose them) but deep domain knowledge is what customers pay for, along with reliability, security, support and compliance.

The productivity gains from AI are still hotly debated: we definitely get to a working prototype much faster but a finished product has a lot more to it and not all the stages can be sped up by AI.

That is why I advise our technical teams to not obsess about programmer productivity as a metric but focus on how we can offer a far better experience to customers using AI.

There is a lot of needless or incidental complexity in software that can be eliminated by AI.

[Mahesh Jethmalani @JethmalaniM]

That is the fraud.
American power on screen is “craft.”
British power on screen is “heritage.”
Indian power on screen is suddenly evidence of political conditioning.

Same cinema. Same nationalism. Different skin colour.

The Economist has a wonderfully colonial rulebook for cinema. When America straps a camera to Pentagon hardware and sells state power with a soundtrack, it is “spectacle.” When a film is made with CIA-adjacent mythology around national revenge, it is “serious storytelling.” But when India puts its own enemies and terrorist attack scars on screen, suddenly the magazine reaches for the psychiatrist’s couch.

That is the real joke here. Fighter jets, spies, commandos and national vengeance are perfectly acceptable as long as the flag fluttering in the background is American or British. Then it is culture. It is craft. It is cinema doing what cinema does. The Economist has invented a very elegant little rule for cinema: Top Gun: Maverick can fly on Pentagon muscle, RAMBO & Zero Dark Thirty can ride CIA mythology, James Bond can sell six decades of British spy glamour, Dunkirk can turn wartime memory into national legend, and all of that is called storytelling. But the moment India puts terror, retaliation and national memory on screen with Dhurandhar, the magazine starts diagnosing the audience instead of reviewing the film.

What @TheEconomist cannot digest is not one film. It is the fact that Indians are no longer outsourcing their memory to London’s approval. A country that has lived through decades of Pakistan-sponsored terror is apparently expected to process all that pain in whispers, with tasteful disclaimers, and preferably under the supervision of foreign editors who still think they are qualified to explain India to Indians.

And that is why the review reeks. Not of sophistication, but of the old imperial tic: Western nationalism on screen is a nation telling its story; Indian nationalism on screen is a pathology requiring diagnosis. The costume has changed. The sneer has not.

The funniest part is that The Economist probably thinks this is fearless criticism. It is not. It is just another imported lecture from people who never mind propaganda when it wears aviators, a tuxedo, or a CIA badge, but develop exquisite moral sensitivity the moment India stops being apologetic on its own screen.

Just FYI: Decades of Pakistan-sponsored terror are apparently meant to be processed quietly, apologetically, and preferably without ever producing a mass-market cultural response. That is the old script. India is no longer following it.

Today, I was using cabs to travel from one studio to another for the Union Budget debates. When I booked a @Uber_India cab from Nationalist Hub to 99TV in Hyderabad and two of the drivers cancelled after accepting the booking.
@Uber automatically assigned a third driver and I was surprised to see a lady's name pop up as a driver. And sure enough it was a pleasant surprise to see Nandini, who has been driving Uber for the last one year.
A single mother of three kids, she originally hails from Vijayawada and is working hard to educate her kids. These days when women's empowerment is bandied about in the media - here is a wonderful example of how a lady overcame adversity and keeps working hard.
