He underlined the necessity to establish the correct moment but underscored Modi’s commitment to help and develop enterprises while benefiting India.
In an interview with The Wall Street Journal, Musk stated, “Absolutely.” Prime Minister Narendra Modi thanked Elon Musk for their meeting on Twitter. “Great meeting you today @elonmusk!” he wrote. We spoke about energy, spirituality, and more.” Musk reacted to the tweet with “It was an honor to meet again.”
Musk was praised by Prime Minister Modi for making technology inexpensive and accessible. He invited Musk to invest in India’s commercial space and electric transportation sectors. On Tuesday morning, the Prime Minister left for the US on a State Visit designated for Washington DC’s closest friends. Addressing a joint session of Congress, engaging with business leaders and Indian expatriates, and attending a state banquet at the White House hosted by US President Joe Biden were on the agenda.
