Musk steps up Starlink push in India, says ‘competition would benefit average citizen’
The latest post comes amid Elon Musk's criticism of Mukesh Ambani over delays in launching Starlink's satellite broadband services in India.
Elon Musk has intensified his efforts to promote commercial Starlink operations in India, asserting that increased competition would give consumers more choices. Musk accused Reliance chairman Mukesh Ambani of engaging in absurd hypocrisy and hyperbole, particularly regarding Ambani's internet business. Reliance is a prominent telecommunications player in India.
Musk argued that if Starlink's services were too expensive for Indian consumers, they would not subscribe, prompting the company to offer more affordable prices. He dismissed the contradictory arguments made by Ambani's supporters, calling them "ridiculous." Musk shared screenshots alleging that a Reliance-funded firm aided BJP campaign promotions on social media and made substantial political donations to the ruling party.
This comes amid Musk's ongoing criticism of Ambani's delays in launching Starlink's satellite broadband services in India.
