NEW DELHI: The digital world is currently captivated by an unexpected and highly entertaining “meme war” between two of the most influential figures on the planet: US President Donald Trump and Tesla CEO Elon Musk. What started as a public spat over policy disagreements and alleged ingratitude has rapidly devolved into a volley of social media salvos, much to the amusement of global audiences, particularly in India.
As Trump and Musk trade barbs and accusations from their respective social media trenches (Truth Social and X, formerly Twitter), bystanders, including a large and vocal Indian online community, have seized the opportunity for comedic relief. The internet is awash with memes humorously suggesting that none other than Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi should step in to broker a “complete cessation” under a ceasefire deal.
This playful suggestion stems from recent instances where Trump had claimed credit for mediating a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, despite India’s firm denial of any third-party interference. This historical context has provided the perfect backdrop for meme-makers to imagine PM Modi as the ultimate global peacemaker, capable of quelling even the most high-profile digital squabbles.
The feud between Trump and Musk has been escalating, with Musk notably criticizing Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” and even hinting at connections to the Epstein files, while Trump has threatened to cut government subsidies and contracts to Musk’s companies. The online spectacle has led to trending hashtags like “THE GIRLS ARE FIGHTING,” as users revel in the drama. Indian netizens, known for their quick wit and prolific meme production, have leveraged this unusual conflict to create a truly global, if lighthearted, commentary on power, ego, and the pervasive nature of social media in modern discourse
