Modi’s ‘Jado Ki Jhappi’ Works Its Magic On Elon Musk, Declares Himself To Be A Modi Fan And The Beggining Of Glorious Days Of Tesla In India

Tesla CEO Elon Musk communicated with much excitement that he engaged in a fruitful conversation with Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a much-anticipated meeting that displayed the convergence of visionary minds in the vibrant city of New York.

The atmosphere was abuzz with excitement as Musk, renowned for his audacious ventures and groundbreaking innovations, shared his aspirations for Tesla’s presence in the land of India. Emerging from their encounter, the world witnessed Musk’s contagious enthusiasm and his resolute commitment to expedite Tesla’s entry into the Indian market.

The tête-à-tête between Musk and Prime Minister Modi proved to be an exchange of fervour and shared ambition. Musk’s effusive praise for the future prospects of India was evident in his statement, “I am incredibly excited about the future of India. I think India has more promise than any large country in the world.” Such glowing remarks underscored Musk’s unwavering belief in India’s vast potential as a hub for technological advancements and sustainable growth.

“It was excellent and a very good conversation,” Musk told reporters when asked about his meeting with Modi, adding he planned to visit India next year.

“I am confident Tesla will be in India and will do so as soon as humanly possible,” Musk said when asked by reporters about a timeline for Tesla coming to India.

The Modi Magic
Acknowledging Prime Minister Modi’s unwavering dedication to India’s progress, Musk expressed his admiration for the leader’s determination to promote investments in the country. It seems like their mutual vision and commitment to fostering innovation created a harmonious rapport between the two visionaries.

Musk fondly recollected the Prime Minister’s visit to Tesla’s factory several years ago, a testament to the enduring connection they have forged over time.

Prime Minister Modi’s genuine interest in the welfare of his nation resonated deeply with Musk. The visionary CEO acknowledged the Prime Minister’s encouragement and support, affirming his eagerness to contribute significantly to India’s growth story.

Musk emphasized, “He really wants to do the right thing for India. He wants to be open, he wants to be supportive to the companies. And obviously, at the same time, make sure that it accrues to India’s advantage.”

But perhaps the real motivation here could be the ‘decoupling’ with China and India may offer much-needed relief for Tesla manufacturing. Thus the alignment of interests and the Prime Minister’s welcoming stance toward businesses has further emboldened Musk’s determination to establish Tesla’s presence in India.

Renowned for his trailblazing initiatives in sustainable energy, Musk recognized India’s immense potential for solar energy investment. With great enthusiasm, he expressed his intentions to explore and capitalize on the opportunities offered by India’s favourable solar energy landscape.

Moreover, Musk unveiled his aspiration to introduce Starlink, a revolutionary satellite-based internet service, to India. This ambitious plan promises to transform India’s digital connectivity, bridging the gaps and opening up new avenues for progress, but will this be welcome when the stronghold in business in India continues to be in the hands of Ambani and Adani alike?

Looking ahead, Musk conveyed his plans to visit India once again, tentatively scheduled for the upcoming year.

However, is his eagerness to return to India driven by a genuine fascination with the country’s rich heritage and vibrant energy or the more profitable exploration of business opportunities, whichever the case may be; this impending visit holds the potential to rekindle connections, forge new partnerships, and unleash a wave of innovation that will shape India’s future.

The Family Dinner With Joe Biden

A state visit involves an invitation by the Head of a State to his official residence – PM Modi is having a family dinner with the Bidens at the White House on Wednesday.

The Busy Schedule

One notable prospect is General Electric’s potential agreement with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) to produce the GE-F414 jet engine in India.
