Prime Minister Narendra Modi responded to Tesla CEO Elon Musk's remark that he is a "fan of Modi" and said the businessman is a "supporter of India". Musk had made the remark after meeting the Prime Minister in New York in June last year.
The Prime Minister also responded to an answer about the possible entry of Tesla and Starlink into India and said investments are welcome from whoever wishes to invest in India, but the products should be built by Indians so that young people can get employment opportunities.
"I want investment to come to India. It doesn't matter who has invested money, (but) the sweat put into the work must be that of our own people. The product should have the essence of our soil, so that the young people in the country will get employment opportunities," he told ANI.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is also planning to visit India later this month to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi, he confirmed on X a few days ago.
"He showed me everything in his factory. And I understood his vision from him. I went there just now (to the US in 2023) and met him again. And now he is about to come to India," PM Modi said.
