Elon Musk intensifies his criticism of Mukesh Ambani over Starlink delay in India
Elon Musk has accused Mukesh Ambani of blocking Starlink's competition in India. Despite SpaceX's efforts to launch the service, it has yet to receive the necessary approval.
Elon Musk has ramped up his criticism of Mukesh Ambani, accusing him of hindering Starlink's competition in India. Musk suggests that Ambani wields excessive control over the country's government, preventing Starlink from entering the market. Despite distribution agreements with Reliance Jio and Bharti Airtel, Starlink has not yet received authorization for commercial operations in India. The situation is further complicated as India's Ministry of Communications stated that all satellite operators, including Starlink, are at the same regulatory stage and must complete security assessments before receiving satellite spectrum. Musk has also faced challenges with Tesla in India, where sales have been limited due to high import tariffs.
