PM Modi Likely To Meet Elon Musk during US visit

New Delhi: Prime Minister Narendra Modi, slated to visit the United States this month to meet President Donald Trump, is also likely to see Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk. The world’s richest man is reported to be part of a select group of CEOs who will meet PM Modi on February 13. As the chief of the newly-formed Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Musk is likely to advocate for a level playing field for his electric cars.

He may also seek early regulatory approval to begin operations for affordable satellite internet service Starlink in the country, along with boosting collaboration with the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

However, no official communication about the PM Modi-Musk meeting has been conveyed yet. Last year, Musk had announced a delay in his India visit as earlier planned, as he faced “the moment of truth” when Tesla announced its quarterly results amid negative growth in China and massive global layoffs. “Unfortunately, very heavy Tesla obligations require that the visit to India be delayed. But I do very much look forward to visiting (India) later this year,” Musk had posted on his X social media platform in April last year.
