Musk slams Ambani supporters for 'hypocrisy' over Starlink's entry in India
Elon Musk on Sunday renewed his attack on Mukesh Ambani over Starlink's entry into India, accusing the billionaire's supporters of indulging in absurd hypocrisy and hyperbole in arguing simultaneously that his satellite internet service cannot compete with amazing low prices offered by Ambani's de facto monopoly in India, even as they claimed - in the same breath - that it poses a strong competitive threat. In a post on X, Musk said competition from Starlink would benefit ordinary Indians by expanding consumer choice, and that while it could lower Ambani's profits he is not going out of business. Musk also said that if, indeed, Starlink's services were too expensive in India, consumers would not buy them, forcing the company to make its pricing affordable. The idiculous arguments by Ambani's internet supporters make no sense, he said. 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 an

Justice Dept. probing TV networks over brief boycott of White House pool coverage
WASHINGTON, Oct 10 (Reuters) - The US Justice Department said on Saturday it is investigating whether television networks violated federal antitrust laws over their decision to boycott covering the White House following its decision to pull the credentials of reporters from three news organizations, including CNN. The networks under investigationare ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC and Fox News, the Justice Department said. Group boycotts among commercial competitors can violate the Sherman Act, a Justice Department spokesperson said. The Antitrust Division is simply investigating to determine whether these news organizations have violated the antitrust laws. The investigation is the latest in a series of clashes between the Trump administration and major news organizations. President Donald Trump has repeatedly called the mainstream media fake news and frequently clashes with reporters during encounters with the press. The action also puts legal and potentially financial pressure on the media to continue coverage of the president even when they disagree with how the White House handles them. The networks did not immediately respond to requests from Reuters for comment.The New York Times was first to report about the probe. The investigation comes after weeks of tension between the White House and the press. CREDENTIALS REVOKED IN SEPTEMBER On September 19, the White House blocked reporters from CNN, Politico, and MS NOW from entering the building, revoking their credentials. The White House said covering the president was a privilege not a right. The outlets sued the administration, alleging the exclusions violated the First Amendment and that the White House was retaliating over their coverage. CNN is one of the five news organizations along with ABC, CBS, Fox News and NBC that make up the primary White House television pool. They share the costs of covering the president, take turns organizing coverage and share the footage with outlets around the country. All of the five television networks that cover the White House, including Fox News, suspended coverage in solidarity and refused to provide replacement coverage. The White House reinstated the credentials on September 24 after US District Judge Timothy Kelly ruled that the ban was likely unconstitutional and ordered the administration to immediately return, reinstate, and restore their access. However, disputes over access to specific presidential events and pool assignments continued afterward.
