Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has become one of the few world leaders to join Truth Social, the social media platform founded by U.S. President Donald Trump. In his first post on Monday, Modi shared a photo with Trump from a 2019 visit to the U.S., expressing his excitement to join the platform.
As of early Tuesday, Modi had gained 39,400 followers, following Trump and U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance. Trump also shared a link to Modi’s interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, where the Indian leader discussed his life, the 2002 Gujarat riots, and India’s relationship with China.
Launched in February 2022, Truth Social was created after Trump’s social media ban following the 2020 election. Despite limited traffic compared to rivals like X (formerly Twitter), the platform remains a key component of Trump’s media empire.
