Musk In Top Gear Everywhere?

 Recently, a prominent business English newspaper hosted a prestigious award function that attracted notable figures from various industries. During the event, a well-known steel magnate, while addressing the audience, humorously made some light-hearted remarks about Elon Musksource says. The biggest telecom tycoon present at the event could not contain his amusement and erupted into a loud laugh, much to the delight of the crowd source says.

However, within moments, he received a phone call from an advisor cautioning him against such levity. The advisor sternly reminded him that, on the one hand, they sought government support in light of Starlink's impending entry into the market, and on the other hand, such jokes could be perilous source says. The caller emphasized the delicate nature of the current political climate, noting that as the government worked diligently to strengthen ties with the U.S. administration, mocking a figure as trusted by the American president as Musk could jeopardize those efforts source adds. Interestingly, just days later, the telecom tycoon surprised many by entering into a lucrative business deal with Starlink, allowing the satellite internet service to operate through his national telecom company. 

This strategic partnership was quickly followed by an announcement from Jio, another major player in the telecom sector, which also struck an agreement with SpaceX to provide broadband internet services across the country source says. These two significant agreements have not only provided Elon Musk’s Starlink with a robust platform to launch its services in the region but have also positioned both telecom giants as formidable allies in Musk's future endeavours. The rapid developments highlight the intricate dance of business and politics, where laughter can quickly turn to strategy in the face of opportunity.
