Modi and Musk meet in Washington to discuss technology and collaboration

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Elon Musk at Blair House in Washington, DC, during a brief visit to the US. They discussed topics like space, technology, and innovation, while Musk's children joined the meeting, adding a personal touch. Musk gifted Modi a heat shield tile from a SpaceX Starship test flight, while Modi presented Indian storybooks to Musk's children. The meeting aimed to strengthen collaboration between India and the US in areas like artificial intelligence and sustainable development. Musk's Starlink service faces regulatory delays in India, and Tesla has struggled with high import duties. This meeting may signal a more favorable environment for Musk's ventures in India.
