Elon Musk publicly accused Indian billionaire Mukesh Ambani of blocking competition in India, as Starlink continues to face delays entering the Indian market, BBC News Science and TechCrunch reported on October 9 and 10, 2026.
Ambani, the owner of Reliance and India's richest man, has become the target of Musk's criticism over what Musk says is interference with Starlink's ability to launch service in the country. TechCrunch reported that Musk intensified his attacks on Ambani as the satellite internet service remains unable to operate in India.
Starlink has been struggling to establish its service in India, according to BBC News Science, and Musk has attributed that difficulty to Ambani's actions.
