Elon Musk said on Saturday he was planning to visit India later in the year, a day after Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he had discussed technology with the billionaire entrepreneur. Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, described the conversation as an honor, signaling the strengthening ties between India and his ventures.
“I am looking forward to visiting India later this year!” Musk added in his post.
On Friday, PM Modi spoke to Elon Musk on immense potential for collaboration in areas of technology and innovation.
Modi said on X after speaking to Musk, whose business empire includes Tesla and SpaceX, that they discussed various issues.
"Spoke to @elonmusk and talked about various issues, including the topics we covered during our meeting in Washington DC earlier this year. We discussed the immense potential for collaboration in the areas of technology and innovation," he said.
Modi added, "India remains committed to advancing our partnerships with the US in these domains."
Musk is considered one of the most influential persons in the Donald Trump administration and is spearheading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) aimed at cutting government expenditure and reducing federal workforce.
Tesla is reportedly close to entering the Indian market, while Elon Musk’s Starlink is also eyeing expansion. Commerce Minister Piyush Goyal recently met Starlink executives to discuss their tech, partnerships, and investment plans.
Though Jio and Airtel have inked deals with SpaceX for Starlink services, operations remain stalled pending government approvals on security and spectrum.
Starlink, with over 6,750 satellites, is seen as a market disruptor, but telecom firms have raised concerns over satellite spectrum policies.
