Elon Musk had postponed his India trip last April due to "very heavy Tesla obligations".
Tech entrepreneur Elon Musk, a close associate of US President Donald Trump, has shared his plans for visiting India. Talking about his phone call with Prime Minister Narendra Modi yesterday, he said that he is looking forward to visiting India later this year.
"It was an honour to speak with PM Modi. I am looking forward to visiting India later this year," said Musk on X, a day after holding talks about India-US collaborations with the Prime Minister.
PM Modi said yesterday that the two covered various issues during their phone call. These included topics that featured in their discussions when PM Modi visited Washington earlier this year, like space, mobility, and technology.
"We discussed the immense potential for collaboration in the areas of technology and innovation. India remains committed to advancing our partnerships with the US in these domains," PM Modi had said.
Elon Musk, who calls himself a “fan” of PM Modi, had been planning to visit India. One such plan last year had to be postponed due to “very heavy Tesla obligations”. Delaying his trip, the world's richest man had said he would visit India later in 2024. But that plan didn't work out either.
The Elon Musk-PM Modi phone call assumes significance since it comes at a time the US and China are engaged in a fierce trade war, with the leaders on both sides, Trump and Xi Jinping, being defiant and unrelenting.
