Elon Musk’s Starlink: The Secret Weapon Against Trump’s Tariffs? 🤔💰

So, Indian parliamentarian Raghav Chadha, who is basically the superhero of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), has come up with a plan that’s as brilliant as it is bizarre. He’s suggesting that the Indian government should respond to President Trump’s “nations lining up to kiss his ass” comment by dangling Elon Musk’s Starlink services in front of him like a shiny new toy. Because nothing says “let’s negotiate” like a billionaire’s satellite internet, right? 🚀

Chadha took to his official X (Twitter) account—because where else would you air your grievances?—to reiterate his master plan of using Musk as a bargaining chip. I mean, who wouldn’t want to arm-twist a guy who’s literally trying to colonize Mars?

“While POTUS brags that other countries are ‘kissing his ass,’ the real way to negotiate with Trump is transactional. Want lower tariffs? Dangle Starlink permissions in India. The owner of Starlink – Elon Musk – isn’t just a billionaire — he’s practically a wing of the US government.”

“Want lower tariffs? Dangle Starlink permissions in India. The owner of Starlink – Elon Musk – isn’t just a billionaire; he’s practically a wing of the US government,” said Chadha. Because, you know, why not use a space billionaire to negotiate trade deals?

Starlink still hasn’t gotten its license from the Indian government. So, it’s like planning a party and forgetting to send out the invites. Oops!
