Trump and Modi discussed the situation in the Middle East over the phone, with Musk participating.

On March 27th local time, it was reported that when US President Trump and Indian Prime Minister Modi had a phone conversation about the situation in the Middle East, American entrepreneur Elon Musk also participated. It is not common for a private entrepreneur without a government position to be involved in a conversation between national leaders, especially when the conversation involves national security issues. It is reported that the phone call mainly focused on the escalating situation in the Middle East, particularly Iran's control of the Strait of Hormuz. The strait is a key passage for global oil and natural gas transport, and the disruption of shipping has led to a rise in energy prices and impacted global markets. It is not clear why Musk participated in the call or if he spoke during the conversation. It is said that Musk has investments in Middle Eastern countries and is also seeking to expand his business presence in the Indian market. Analysts believe that this move also indicates an improvement in the relationship between Musk and Trump. The two had disagreements after Musk left his government position, but their relationship has recently been repaired.
