PM Modi meets Elon Musk during US visit

Prime minister Narendra Modi on Friday met with billionaire Elon Musk during his visit to the US, ahead of his meeting with president Donald Trump.

"We discussed various issues, including those he is passionate about such as space, mobility, technology and innovation. I talked about India’s efforts towards reform and furthering ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance'," PM Modi said in a post on X.



PM Modi met with Musk's family as well.


Musk is a key Trump ally and his Starlink company's bid to enter the South Asian market could come up for discussion. Musk did not respond to reporters' questions after leaving Blair House and walking back to the White House.

Modi held a bilateral meeting on Wednesday with Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's newly installed director of national intelligence, and they discussed enhancing intelligence cooperation, particularly in counter-terrorism, cybersecurity, emerging threats, and strategic intelligence sharing.
