Musk Tweets, ‘Is Ambani the Real Boss of India?’ Rahul Gandhi’s Reaction Also Goes Viral

The issue of Starlink’s entry into India is now turning into a controversy. Earlier, Musk had alleged that certain Indian businessmen were preventing Starlink from entering India. The Indian government subsequently responded to his remarks and rejected the allegations. Then, late Thursday evening, Musk shared another post on social media, appearing to further escalate the controversy.

Elon Musk posted on social media platform X: “Is Ambani the real boss of India?” His post is now rapidly going viral on social media, while Congress MP Rahul Gandhi has also reacted to Musk’s remarks.

Starlink Has Licences in More Than 165 Countries Worldwide: Elon Musk

Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, responding to a user’s post on X, had written that the government appeared more interested in protecting favoured capitalists than the interests of Indian citizens. Responding to the same post, Musk wrote, “Starlink has been licensed in over 165 countries around the world and has made every effort to comply with every rule and law of the Government of India for the last five years. Why has it still not been licensed in the country?”

Immediately afterwards, Musk wrote: “Is Ambani the real boss of India?”

Rahul Gandhi Says, ‘Welcome to India, Elon’

Soon after Musk’s statement, Congress leader Rahul Gandhi took a dig at the issue on social media, writing, “Welcome to India, Elon. Just wait till you discover the other one.”

Musk also responded to Rahul Gandhi’s remark, writing, “Thank you Rahul. This is really disturbing.”

Opposition parties have long accused the government of favouring select industrialists, and Musk’s remarks have once again brought the issue into focus. Musk had earlier, without naming them, accused some prominent Indian businessmen of blocking Starlink’s entry to protect their monopoly.

However, the Indian government has already rejected these allegations, maintaining that the rules are the same for all companies in the country.
