Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, has publicly accused unnamed "Indian oligarchs" of preventing Starlink, the company's satellite internet service, from launching in India. Musk made these allegations on social media platform X, stating that these powerful individuals are responsible for the service's inability to enter the Indian market.
Starlink aims to provide internet access to underserved and remote areas globally. The potential expansion into India has been a subject of discussion, and Musk's recent comments suggest significant political or economic hurdles are in play. The specific identities of the "oligarchs" and the exact reasons for their alleged obstruction remain undisclosed.
