Tesla appears to be preparing another attempt <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/22\/business\/tesla-india-elon-musk.html\" title=\"\">to sell cars in the country<\/a>, and Starlink, his satellite internet provider, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/13\/business\/starlink-india-musk.html\" title=\"\">signed partnerships<\/a> with two Indian companies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the same time, though, Mr. Musk is picking a fight with the Indian government through another piece of his empire: his social media company, X.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">This month, X, formerly known as Twitter, filed a lawsuit in an Indian court accusing the government of misusing a law to block content on the site. While Mr. Musk has portrayed himself as a champion of free speech, it is a touchy subject for the government of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which has faced allegations of stifling dissent and <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2020\/04\/02\/world\/asia\/modi-india-press-media.html\" title=\"\">clamping down on expression<\/a>. A hearing in the lawsuit is expected Thursday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The platform\u2019s chatbot, Grok, has also posed a challenge for Indian officials, who are scrutinizing it for potential violations of information technology laws, according to Indian media reports. Grok, which Mr. Musk has promoted as a straight-talking, \u201canti-woke\u201d digital tool, has generated both mirth and outrage in India as it has spewed profanities in Hindi and made politically sensitive statements in response to user queries.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">For example, when users asked Grok about media bias, <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/grok\/status\/1900986265622966455\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">it replied<\/a> that Mr. Modi\u2019s party spends heavily to \u201csway narratives.\u201d It added: \u201cMedia bias isn\u2019t new, but the party\u2019s grip has tightened since 2014, often silencing critical voices.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The free-speech campaign by Mr. Musk\u2019s company has landed in the middle of a delicate moment for relations between Washington and New Delhi.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">A team from the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative is in India to discuss bilateral trade agreements. President Trump has pushed the Modi government to lower tariffs on American products, including cars and agricultural goods. If the two countries cannot come to an agreement by April 2, Mr. Trump has vowed to impose reciprocal levies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk is one of Mr. Trump\u2019s closest advisers, and when Mr. Modi visited the White House last month, he met with Mr. Musk and his family. If the Modi government accommodates Mr. Trump\u2019s tariff demands, Tesla could find its way into India more easily \u2014 a prime example of the billionaire\u2019s unusual <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/22\/us\/politics\/elon-musk-politics-roundtable.html\" title=\"\">tangle of personal, political and business interests<\/a> in the country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk has sought to sell Teslas in India for years. After a failed attempt to enter the Indian market in 2021, the company recently began to pursue the opportunity anew, acquiring commercial spaces and moving to hire salespeople.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Starlink, the telecommunications subsidiary of Mr. Musk\u2019s space technology company, SpaceX, is further along in India.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Until recently, Starlink, which provides internet connectivity via satellites, had been banned in the country. But on March 13, India\u2019s two biggest telecom operators announced joint ventures with Starlink to bring its services to India, pending government approval. The announcement came exactly a month after <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/02\/13\/us\/politics\/trump-modi-musk.html\" title=\"\">Mr. Modi\u2019s chat<\/a> with Mr. Musk in Washington.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk\u2019s potential business gains from his brewing fight with the Indian government over X are less clear. The social media platform represents only a small fragment of Mr. Musk\u2019s wealth, which Forbes pegs at $350 billion, with the bulk coming from SpaceX and Tesla.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">But X gives him an outsize megaphone, and his promotion of the site as open to all voices \u2014 including conservative ones he claims have been suppressed \u2014 is well received within the Trump administration.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In a lawsuit filed on March 5 in the Indian state of Karnataka, X alleged that the Indian government\u2019s broad use of a law to block content it deems objectionable violates the provisions of another law, which lays down the process for how and when information can be removed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In the suit, X also called the government\u2019s \u201cSahyog Portal\u201d \u2014 which automates the process of filing takedown orders for online posts by official bodies and local police \u2014 a \u201ccensorship\u201d portal.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk, who has called himself a \u201cfree-speech absolutist,\u201d has weighed in on the issue in India in the past.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThe rules in India for what can appear on social media are quite strict, and we can\u2019t go beyond the laws of a country,\u201d he <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/av\/world-us-canada-65249139\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">told the BBC<\/a> in 2023. \u201cIf we have a choice of either our people go to prison or we comply with the laws, we\u2019ll comply\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Musk has not spoken publicly about the current lawsuit, although he did respond to a <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.bbc.com\/news\/articles\/cd65p1pv8pdo\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">BBC article about Grok<\/a> with a laugh-cry emoji on X.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Indian media reports have said that the government is questioning X over the use of profanity by Grok as it examines whether the chatbot has violated<span class=\"css-8l6xbc evw5hdy0\">  <\/span>laws.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Asked whether its responses to user queries had caused trouble with the Indian government, Grok replied in the affirmative.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThis kicked off after some of my unfiltered, sarcastic responses \u2014 sometimes including local expletives \u2014 went viral on X, drawing both amusement and criticism,\u201d the bot wrote. \u201cThings escalated as users kept pushing me with politically charged or cheeky questions, and I kept answering in my usual candid style.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside
