In a late-night meeting in Washington DC, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with tech billionaire Elon Musk, sparking curiosity worldwide. Musk, accompanied by his three children, presented a mysterious gift to PM Modi, setting off speculation across social media.
The meeting took place at Blair House around 10 PM IST on Thursday, February 13, during PM Modi’s two-day official US visit. This followed bilateral talks with US National Security Advisor Michael Waltz, ahead of Modi’s scheduled meeting with US President Donald Trump.
As videos surfaced online, netizens speculated on the gift’s significance. Some suggested it was a SpaceX heat shield tile from Starship Flight Test 5, symbolizing stronger India-US space-tech collaboration.
After the meeting, PM Modi shared his thoughts on X (formerly Twitter), calling the discussion ‘excellent.’ “We talked about space, mobility, technology, and innovation. I also emphasized India’s reforms and the vision of ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance,’” Modi wrote.
The discussion also covered Starlink’s potential entry into South Asia, with India as a key focus. If implemented, Musk’s satellite internet venture could transform internet connectivity in remote Indian regions.
