Tesla and SpaceX chief Elon Musk has taken a swipe at billionaire Mukesh Ambani over Starlink's entry into India, accusing him of seeking to maintain a monopoly and questioning whether he would allow the satellite internet service to compete in the country.

In a post on X, Musk sarcastically addressed Ambani as the "real boss of India" and apologised for not recognising his influence.

"Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India," Musk wrote.

" he added. Dear Prime Minister Ambani, Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India. Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete? There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market.
