Could Elon Musk’s newfound political influence help him finally crack India?

World's richest man has spent years trying to get Starlink into the fast-growing economy. It could serve as a beachhead for his other business ambitions in India

It is easy to believe that Elon Musk's reach knows no limits. But while the world's richest man may control a space satellite empire, own one of the largest social media platforms, produce the world's bestselling electric car, and have been given carte blanche by Donald Trump to gut the US government, there is one market that Musk has yet to properly crack: India.

Now, with his newfound influence over the Trump administration and global geopolitics, it appears likely that Musk's entrance into the Indian market, both with his Tesla electric cars and his Starlink satellite internet, may come smoother and faster than expected.
