'Delighted To Be On Truth Social!': PM Modi Joins Trump's Social Media Platform
The Indian Prime Minister joined the Trump's social media platform shortly after the US President shared Modi's three-hour podcast with Lex Fridman on Truth Social.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Monday joined Truth Social, a social media platform owned by US President Donald Trump.
The Indian Prime Minister joined the Trump's social media platform shortly after the US President shared Modi's three-hour podcast with Lex Fridman on Truth Social.
"Delighted to be on Truth Social! Looking forward to interacting with all the passionate voices here and engaging in meaningful conversations in the times to come," PM Modi said in a post on the platform.
Shortly after PM Modi shared his first post on the platform, the post received around 10,000 likes and around 1,500 'ReTruths'. While, Prime Minister Modi received 6.6K followers shortly after joining, he followed only two people- US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance.
In another post in response to Trump, Modi thanked the US President for sharing his interaction with Fridman. "Thank you my friend, President Trump. I've covered a wide range of topics, including my life journey, India's civilisational outlook, global issues and more," Modi said in the post on Truth Social. He also shared an update about his meeting with US Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard on the platform.
Earlier in the day, Trump had shared a video link of PM Modi's interaction with US-based popular podcaster and computer scientist Lex Fridman on Truth Social.
During the three-hour interaction, Modi said he and Trump connect well as both put their respective countries first and asserted that their mutual trust remained unshaken even when the Republican leader was out of office during Joe Biden's presidency.
Asked what he likes about Trump, Modi recalled that during his first term, Trump ignored security protocol and agreed to his request to take a lap around the stadium hosting the 'Howdy Modi' event in Houston.
"I was touched by his courage and his trust in me," he said, noting that Trump conveyed similar courage following the assassination attempt on him during the presidential campaign.
Modi said that Trump believes in America First, and his motto is nation first or India first. He added that this similar spirit makes them connect well.
Without referring to the trade issues involving the two countries, Modi, while speaking of his recent meeting with the US president and his colleagues, noted that Trump seems far more prepared with a clear roadmap and has put together a strong team in his second term.
Fridman, who moved to the US from Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union, started his podcast in 2018 which was originally titled the Artificial Intelligence Podcast but the name changed to Lex Fridman Podcast in 2020. Several world leaders, including Donald Trump, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, SpaceX founder Elon Musk, American businessman Jeff Bezos and Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg have been featured in the podcast.
