Can you imagine their sense of frustration on being dethroned by the guy sitting on the floor?

One small thing, for those who say India only does assembly and screwdriver giri. There is exactly one factory on Earth building the body of the world's most advanced attack helicopter.
It is in Hyderabad.
Every Apache attack helicopter being built today has its body made in Hyderabad.
Read that again....
Tata Boeing Aerospace's Hyderabad plant is the only place on Earth that makes Apache fuselages. On September 7, 2026, it rolled out the 400th one.
From Hyderabad, they fly to Mesa, Arizona, for final assembly. Including into Apaches for the US Army itself.
Nearly 1 in 3 of the 1,300 Apaches in service across 19 countries carries a body made in India.
The pace tells the story....
- 2018: the facility goes operational.
- 2021: 100th fuselage.
- 2023: 250th.
- 2025: 300th.
- 2026: 400th.
The first 100 took over 3 years. The latest 100 took 19 months.
The most feared attack helicopter in the world is, quite literally, built around an Indian body and nobody is talking about this.
Bharat is rising. 🙏🙏

Everyone posts Vande Bharat selfies. The real muscle is freight - the trains that feed power plants, steel mills and ports. Nobody is talking about it.
Indian Railways moved 971 billion tonne-km of freight in 2024-25. All 27 railways of the European Union combined: 367 billion.
One Indian railway out hauls the entire EU. 2.6x over.
And this is not new. India has moved more rail freight than the whole EU every single year for over a decade. In 2014 the lead was 1.8x. Today it is 2.6x. The gap keeps widening.
Europe's rail freight peaked in 2018 at 409 billion tonne-km and has fallen since. India's grew 42% over the decade - coal, iron ore, steel, cement, foodgrain, containers.
Bharat is rising. 🙏🙏

Funny story regarding electrification of Indian Railways.
The first electric train ran in 1925, From CST (VT then) to Kurla, via the Harbour line.
Now because it was 1925, the state of the art technology for electric locomotion was 1500 V DC.
So the British used it
Rahul Sharma retweeted
India's first electric rail ran 101 years ago. Between 1925 and 2014, India electrified 21,801 km of railway tracks.
21,801 in 89 years.
And after Narendra Modi became PM? 48,072 km electrified in 12 years!!
Modi era electrified almost total tracks of UK + Spain + Italy!
Now India is manufacturing bullet trains.

The more you doubt him, the harder he’ll prove you wrong. That’s Shri @AshwiniVaishnaw for you. And that’s Bharat’s very own, homegrown, Made-in-India Bullet Train! 🇮🇳🚄

India saw about 496 million people lifted out of poverty between 2011 and 2023 in one of the world’s fastest declines in this metric, the World Bank said, although the gains remain uneven. bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

Men did it all brick by brick from toilet to semiconductor to giving free health insurance to 500 million people to pulling out 270 million people out of poverty to building 45 million house for poor people

If he said it, he'll do it.
That man is a unstoppable technocrat.
He said he'll bring Semicon boom, he did it
He said he'll modernize railway, he did it
He said he'll make TBMs in India, he did it
He said he'll connect every village with 5g, he did it
He must keep balling.

Marco Rubio apparently went to Jamnagar because the Reliance refinery there is one the very few oil refineries in the world which can process Venezuelan Crude oil.
And USA desperately needs someone who can refine it for them
This is where we need to tip our hat to the vision of Reliance and the Ambanis.
Imagine the foresight and risk appetite of Dhirubhai and Mukesh Ambani, who thought of establishing one of the largest refineries in the world, a refinery that can process almost any type of crude oil, in India.
A country which has no oil of its own.
Most of see the wealth, market cap, value and power of Ambanis and Reliance
Few of us see the risks behind it

Anthropic is targeting a valuation of $1.5 Trillion in its IPO
OpenAI, whenever they decide to list, will have a similar valuation
Nobody knew these two companies existed before 2021.
Only the USA has an ecosystem that can create and scale up two companies to a size that matches the whole of the Indian market, in five years
Say what you want about USA, its policies and processes, but nobody else brings out the best in people and rewards them proportionally, like they do.

Dear USA president @elonmusk ji –
We Indians consider our national security and sovereignty paramount. No business interest, billionaire, or foreign corporation can be above the laws and policies of our country.
India welcomes foreign investment and advanced technology, but if you want to do business here, respecting our laws, regulatory framework, and national security requirements should not be a problem.
Competition is welcome, but not at the cost of national security. Every company operating in India must comply with the rules established by the Indian government. These are not unreasonable demands; they are the sovereign rights of an independent nation.
If you are unwilling to operate within India's regulatory framework, that is entirely your choice. We Indians will continue using the internet services currently available to us.
India is open for business, not open to compromise on national security. Our country, our laws, our rules. If you want to do business here, respect them. Otherwise, your internet is yours to keep, and we are perfectly entitled to be satisfied with our existing services.
India is open to business, not to pressure. Our country, our laws, our security, and our decisions. No billionaire is bigger than India.
The ridiculous arguments by Ambani’s army of Internet shills make no sense
On the one hand, they say Starlink couldn’t possibly compete with the amazing low prices offered by Ambani’s de facto monopoly in India and then, in the same breath, they essentially claim that Starlink would be too strong of a competitor! This is absurd hypocrisy and hyperbole.
The reality is that competition would greatly benefit the average citizen in India by giving them more choices, as it always does. Ambani’s profits will be lower, but he is not going out of business. And, obviously, if Starlink is too expensive in India, no one will buy it, so SpaceX will need to make pricing affordable.
Rahul Sharma retweeted
India has the among the lowest data prices in the world. It is so good that I don't even bother to connect to local Wifi when I travel in India and just tether my phone to work on my computer. Indians routinely have dual SIM phones with large data plans because they are so affordable. Ambani's launch of Jio is directly responsible for the low data prices Indians enjoy.
India has among the lowest drug prices in the world (and going lower still). People who visit India buy medicines to take home quite regularly now.
India has among the lowest cost payment systems in the world in UPI.
On the other hand, Tesla is protected from Chinese competition in the US market, keeping EV prices higher in America than elsewhere.
Prime Minister Modi has worked hard to create a competitive economy where the benefits flow to the average Indian. His government does not tolerate monopolies. He has also actively promoted and encouraged a massive surge in startups and that is the best signal of a highly competitive economy.
Directly due to Modi government policy, Indian startups are making major advances in low cost rockets and that poses a threat to SpaceX the same say the Chinese EVs threaten Tesla.
These are the facts Elon.
Dear Prime Minister Ambani,
Please accept my humble apologies for not realizing that you are the real boss of India.
Naturally, you would prefer to maintain your monopolistic exploitation of the great people of India, but would you nonetheless consider allowing Starlink to compete?
There are many areas of India, as there are in all countries, with no Internet access, which denies children the opportunity for education and for small businesses the opportunity to sell their goods to a global market. Starlink would change their lives for the better.
Thank you 🙏
