Musk vows ‘affordable’ Starlink in India as he escalates feud with Ambani
(opens the publisher’s site)Elon Musk has escalated his attacks on Mukesh Ambani, promising affordable Starlink pricing in India and questioning the billionaire's hold over the country's telecom market.
- Musk asked on X whether Ambani is "the real ruler of India," saying Starlink has spent five years awaiting final approvals to begin commercial operations.
- Musk said SpaceX will make Starlink pricing affordable, days before Jio Platforms targets a $106 billion valuation in India's largest-ever IPO.
- Communications Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia denied bias, saying India permits no monopoly, and noted all three licensed satellite ventures await final security clearance.
- Opposition leader Rahul Gandhi replied, "Welcome to India Elon, wait until you discover the other man," and Musk responded that the matter is "indeed concerning."
