Elon Musk’s X Corp, formerly known as Twitter, has filed a writ petition under Article 226 in the Karnataka High Court, challenging what it calls “arbitrary censorship” by the Indian government.


The legal dispute centres on the interpretation of Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act and the bypassing of established safeguards outlined under Section 69A.

In its plea, X Corp has argued against the Sahyog Portal—a digital platform managed by the Ministry of Home Affairs for expedited content takedown orders—alleging that it creates a parallel framework for censorship without transparency.

The company is seeking declarations to invalidate multiple government directives, reaffirm existing legal safeguards, and ensure that Section 69A remains the sole statutory mechanism for content regulation.

This high-profile case raises significant questions about the balance between government oversight and online freedom of expression.

The next court hearing is set for March 27, and the outcome may redefine the future of internet governance in India.


The Elon Musk vs Indian government saga has been ongoing for a while now. 

Check Uut Key Issues:-

  • Twitter censorship: Elon Musk has been critical of the Indian government’s alleged censorship on Twitter, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic.
  • Free speech: Musk has advocated for free speech and expressed concerns about the Indian government’s attempts to regulate online content.
  • Tesla’s India entry: Musk’s electric vehicle company, Tesla, has been trying to enter the Indian market. However, the Indian government’s policies and regulations have created hurdles.

Recent Developments:-

Musk’s criticism: In a series of tweets, Musk criticized the Indian government’s handling of the pandemic and its alleged censorship on Twitter.

Indian government’s response: The Indian government responded by saying that Musk’s comments were “misinformed” and “unwarranted.”

Tesla’s India plans: Despite the challenges, Tesla is reportedly still planning to enter the Indian market. However, the company is seeking more clarity on the government’s policies and regulations.

Ongoing Debate

The Elon Musk vs Indian government debate highlights the tension between free speech and government regulation in the digital age. While Musk advocates for unrestricted online expression, the Indian government argues that regulation is necessary to maintain social order and prevent misinformation.

What’s Next?

As the situation unfolds, it’s likely that we’ll see more developments in the Elon Musk vs Indian government saga. Will Musk’s advocacy for free speech lead to changes in India’s online regulation policies? Only time will tell.
