Delhi : Elon Musk, the founder of Twitter and the CEO of Tesla, was introduced to Prime Minister Narendra Modi today as he started his historic three-day official visit to the US. Musk told reporters following the meeting, "I'm an admirer of Modi. "The Prime Minister and I had a wonderful encounter, and I really like him. Some time ago, he came to our factory. We have thus been acquainted for some time, Musk remarked. I have a great deal of enthusiasm for India's future. I believe that of all the major nations, India has the most potential.

At a 2015 visit to the Californian Tesla Motors facility, the Prime Minister first got to know Musk. When questioned about a timetable for Tesla's arrival in India, Musk stated, "I am confident Tesla will be in India and will do so as soon as humanly possible."

"PM Modi genuinely cares about India because he is pressuring us to invest significantly in India, which is something we frequently do." "We just need to figure out the right timing," said Twitter's CEO. "He sincerely wishes to do the right thing for India." He wants to be transparent and supportive of the businesses. At the same time, obviously, make certain that it benefits India."

Musk was asked if the carmaker was interested in the Indian market during an interview with The Wall Street Journal. "Absolutely," he'd said.  Prime Minister Narendra Modi tweeted following his meeting with Musk, "Great meeting you today @elonmusk! We discussed a wide range of topics, from energy to spirituality." Musk said, "It was an honour to meet again."

The Prime Minister praised Musk's efforts to make technology more accessible and inexpensive in a variety of industries.He urged Musk to investigate potential prospects in the electric transportation and commercial space sectors in India.

Tuesday morning, the Prime Minister departed for the US for a distinguished State Visit, a privilege only accorded to the closest of allies by Washington, DC. A speech to a joint session of the US Congress, meetings with corporate executives and Indian expatriates, and a state dinner at the White House with US President Joe Biden are among the highlights of the Prime Minister's agenda. This historic tour prioritises trade and defence relations.
