班加罗尔，10月11日：埃隆·马斯克表示，他将在印度以亲民的价格定价星链卫星互联网服务，以对抗穆克什·安巴尼的低成本靠近Jio，就在Jio母公司即将推出印度有史以来最大规模IPO的几天前，他对这位竞争对手亿万富翁的攻击进一步升级。
BENGALURU, Oct 11 : Elon Musk said he would price Starlink's satellite internet service affordably in India to take on Mukesh Ambani's low-cost Reliance Jio, escalating his attacks on the rival billionaire days before Jio's parent launches India's largest-ever IPO.
Jio平台公司拥有该电信业务，其在发行中的目标估值为1060亿美元。与SpaceX旗下的星链类似，Jio自身的卫星业务也正在等待最终的安全许可以启动。
Jio Platforms, which owns the telecom arm, is targeting a valuation of $106 billion in the offering. Much like SpaceX-owned Starlink, Jio's own satellite venture is also awaiting final security clearance to launch.
低价数据是Jio在印度崛起的策略，也是马斯克在肯尼亚等市场用来动摇当地电信运营商的策略。SpaceX现在计划自行进入移动运营市场，起点在美国。
Cheap data is the playbook that built Jio in India, and the one Musk has used in markets like Kenya to unsettle local telecom players. SpaceX now plans to enter the mobile carrier market itself, starting in the US.
马斯克并未具体说明他在印度的定价，而印度的移动数据成本约为每GB 8美分，是全球最低之一。"显然，如果星链在印度定价过高，没人会购买，所以SpaceX需要让定价变得亲民。"他在周六于其社交媒体平台X上的帖子中说道。"现实是，竞争将通过提供更多选择，极大地惠及印度普通民众，这一点始终如一。安巴尼的利润将降低，但他不会倒闭。"
Musk did not specify prices for India, where mobile data costs about 8 cents per gigabyte, among the lowest in the world. "Obviously, if Starlink is too expensive in India, no one will buy it, so SpaceX will need to make pricing affordable," he said in a post on his social media platform X on Saturday. "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," Musk added.
马斯克补充道。"安巴尼总理"这位亿万富�人的言论是他在X平台上一系列帖子中的最新一条，在这些帖子中，他指责印度总理纳伦德拉·莫迪政府和安巴尼故意阻碍星链进入全球最大的互联网市场之一，以偏向市场领导者Jio。
'PRIME MINISTER AMBANI' The billionaire's remarks were the latest in a series of X posts where he accused Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government and Ambani of stalling Starlink's entry into one of the world's biggest internet markets to favour market leader Jio.
这些帖子标志着马斯克态度的急剧转变——他此前一直与莫迪保持着温暖的公众关系。
The posts have marked a sharp turn for Musk, who has long enjoyed a warm public rapport with Modi.
印度政府否认在审批过程中存在任何偏见，指出目前有三家卫星公司正在寻求发射许可，包括星链和Jio的项目，它们都仍在等待最终的安全许可。
India's government has denied any bias in its approval process, noting that the three satellite ventures seeking to launch, including Starlink's and Jio's, are all awaiting final security clearance.
周五晚间，马斯克直接挑衅安巴尼，称他为"安巴尼总理"，并询问他是否会"考虑允许星链参与竞争"。靠尚未回应对马斯克言论的置评请求。
Late on Friday, Musk taunted Ambani directly, addressing him as "Prime Minister Ambani" and asking whether he would "consider allowing Starlink to compete". Reliance has not responded to requests for comment on Musk's remarks.
