Musk is currently leading the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which is focused on reducing government spending and the size of the federal workforce. He is also seen as one of the most influential figures in the Donald Trump administration.

Following the conversation on Friday, Modi also posted about the call on X. "Spoke to @elonmusk and talked about various issues, including the topics we covered during our meeting in Washington DC earlier this year. We discussed the immense potential for collaboration in the areas of technology and innovation."

"India remains committed to advancing our partnerships with the US in these domains," he added.

Reeves’ £600 million mansion tax to target high-value flats

Highlights

  • Around 100,000 flats among 300,000 properties facing new council tax surcharge.
  • Properties worth £1.5m or more in bands F, G and H to be affected.
  • Homeowners could face bills exceeding £6,000 annually, with average surcharge of £2,000.
Nearly one-third of homes expected to be affected by Chancellor Rachel Reeves's planned council tax surcharge will be flats, according to new analysis by estate agency Hamptons.

The £600 million levy, dubbed a "mansion tax" by Labour backbenchers, will target approximately 300,000 properties in the highest three council tax bands (F, G and H) across England. Of these, around 100,000 are apartments.

The affected flats include luxury apartments in modern tower blocks with amenities such as concierges and gyms, as well as three and four-bedroom properties in converted townhouses and older buildings.
