Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi has joined Truth Social, the social media platform owned by former U.S. President Donald Trump, making him one of the few world leaders on the platform.

In his first post on Monday, Modi shared a photo with Trump from his 2019 visit to Houston, Texas, expressing his enthusiasm about joining the platform. Truth Social was launched in 2022 after Trump was temporarily banned from major social media sites like Twitter and Facebook following accusations of inciting violence.

As of 03:30 GMT, Modi had 21,500 followers and was following Trump and U.S. Vice President JD Vance. Trump also highlighted Modi’s recent interview with podcaster Lex Fridman, in which the Indian leader discussed his personal journey, the 2002 Gujarat riots, and India’s relationship with China.

Truth Social operates similarly to X (formerly Twitter), allowing users to post “truths” and “retruths.” The platform, owned by Trump Media & Technology Group (TMTG), went public in March 2024, with Trump holding a 57% stake. However, the company faces financial struggles, reporting a $400 million loss in 2024, while its user base remains significantly smaller than its competitors.
