Congress says that Elon Musk "read the writing on the wall"...


Jairam Ramesh, general secretary of the congress, found it strange that Elon Musk traveled so far to see the prime minister who was leaving office. "He has now opted to postpone his visit after seeing the writing was on the wall. The indian government will vigorously promote electric vehicles, and the PM will greet him shortly," the congress lawmaker wrote on social media, adding that he owns an EV. Elon Musk stated he will travel to india later this year and postponed his trip due to duties at Tesla. It was anticipated that tesla would make an announcement about its aspirations to enter the indian market during the trip.

"Is it true that Elon Musk thought that he'd end up being dragged into bjp Jumla Prachaar therefore he has postponed his trip?" priyanka Chaturvedi, the head of the shiv sena (Uddhav balasaheb Thackeray), posted on X. Elon Musk was supposed to go for his two-day trip on april 21, which was two days after India's protracted election process got underway. Musk was anticipated to announce an investment of $2 billion to $3 billion to create a factory in india during his visit, according to Reuters. india recently announced a policy decreasing hefty tariffs on imported cars if companies invest locally. Musk was scheduled to meet prime minister Narendra Modi during his visit.

Elon Musk is now battling a significant fire at Tesla. On april 5, Reuters revealed that tesla had put a stop to work on the Model 2, the eagerly anticipated low-cost electric vehicle. Despite pressure from investors, Elon Musk has not discussed the model and has refuted the report. This week, Rohan Patel, a tesla public policy executive who oversaw the company's plans for entry into india, also tendered his resignation. According to reports, gujarat and maharashtra offered tesla land for the facility.

"Unexpectedly, substantial tesla commitments necessitate that the trip to india be postponed, but I do very much look ahead to visiting later this year," Elon Musk stated on X. Musk also anticipated expanding Starlink, his satellite internet company, into the indian market. During PM Modi's june 2023 visit to the US, Musk met with Modi and announced his intention to visit india in 2024. The last time Musk traveled to india was in 2007.
