During his short 36-hour visit to the US, Narendra Modi met tech mogul and Donald Trump’s close ally, Elon Musk, at Blair House in Washington, DC. After talking business, there was an exchange of gifts.

NEW DELHI — Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi met with SpaceX CEO Elon Musk during his visit to the U.S. to meet President Donald Trump. The exact nature of the meeting is unclear, although Modi said on X that the two men “discussed various issues, including those he is passionate about such as space, mobility, technology and innovation.”

President Trump insists that he is across Musk's conflicts of interest while working at DOGE—despite not knowing if the richest man on the planet met with Modi in a CEO or political capacity.
