Elon Musk's Meeting With Modi Draws Corruption Allegations

Musk's dual role as a businessman and U.S. government official raises ethical concerns during talks with India's Prime Minister at a key diplomatic venue.

Elon Musk, serving as Director of the Department of Government Efficiency under President Trump, met with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at Blair House, a venue typically reserved for high-level diplomatic meetings.
Critics, including U.S. Senator Chris Murphy, have accused Musk of leveraging his government role to advance personal business interests, calling it a 'stunning level of public corruption.'
Musk, who has significant business interests in India through Tesla and Starlink, discussed topics such as innovation, technology, and governance reforms during his meeting with Modi.
President Trump appeared dismissive of the controversy, stating he was unaware of the specifics of the meeting and suggesting Musk's business interests likely motivated the talks.
The meeting is part of Modi's official U.S. visit, which includes discussions on defense, trade, and technology partnerships between the two nations.
