Musk accuses Ambani of "shills" in Starlink licence row
Elon Musk again attacked Mukesh Ambani on X over the pending Starlink licence in India, alleging a monopoly (The News Minute, Times Now). Times Now reports that he called Ambani's army of internet shills absurd hypocrisy, and The Express Tribune says he shared reports on Reliance-linked BJP donations. Actor Kamal Haasan hit back at Musk (Economic Times). No licence decision has been reported. Reuters separately says Venezuela authorised Starlink.
Satellite internet is a new market, and a licence dispute shows how closely it is tied to spectrum policy and big business.
No effect today. Starlink is not yet licensed to sell in India.
Treat the claims as Musk's and Reliance's own until the telecom regulator or government says something on the record.
