‘X’s allegations of censorship are groundless’: Centre on Musk’s lawsuit

The Indian government has strongly criticised Elon Musk’s lawsuit for mischaracterising an official government platform as a “censorship portal”, according to court documents reviewed by Reuters. The dispute comes as Musk’s companies, Starlink and Tesla, gear up to launch in India.

“The use of the said terminology by a worldwide portal like X is unfortunate and condemnable,” IT Ministry reportedly stated in court filings on March 27, arguing that X’s allegations of censorship are “groundless”.
