Elon Musk postponed his visit to India and went on a visit to China. It is known that the Tesla chief suddenly arrived in Beijing on Sunday (April 28). He will also hold a meeting with several top officials of China.
Elon Musk, one of the richest people in the world, was supposed to visit India during the Lok Sabha elections. He was scheduled to go to India on a two-day visit last week. However, Musk’s visit was being kept top secret.
According to various Indian media, Elon Musk had a meeting with Prime Minister Narendra Modi. But neither the Prime Minister’s Office nor Tesla have officially confirmed Musk’s visit. In the meantime, the tour was suddenly suspended.
Elon Musk himself told X that, unfortunately, Tesla’s visit to India has to be postponed due to a lot of work. But I want to go to India by the end of this year
Meanwhile, the political practice has also started with the postponement of Musk’s visit to India. Congress general secretary Jairam Ramesh said, ‘Musk himself has read the writing on the wall. In fact, the Tesla boss will come from so far away to meet an outgoing Prime Minister. It looked very bad.
Another Congress leader claimed that Elon Musk avoided meeting Modi knowing his defeat.
Whatever the case, the news of Musk’s visit to China has sparked controversy across India. China is Tesla’s second largest market.
Many say that Musk will sit in a meeting with the Chinese authorities on the provision of fully automatic cars. However, this visit has been kept a secret. There was no word from the Chinese government or Tesla.
However, the question is raised, why did Elon Musk go to China after virtually canceling his visit to India? So is Tesla losing interest in investing in India?
