Recently, Tesla CEO in a tweet said that he ''looks forward'' to visiting India in 2024. Mr Musk was replying to a post by DogeDesigner that read, ''I'm planning to visit India next year" along with a photoshopped image of him in Indian attire. ''I look forward to it'', he replied. 

Notably, the billionaire announced his decision to visit India after he met Prime Minister Narendra Modi in New York in June this year. Asked whether PM Modi extended an invitation to him, the billionaire entrepreneur said, ''He did. And yes, I'm tentatively planning to visit India again next year. I'm looking forward.'' His plans to visit the country come amid Tesla's plans to enter India and set up shop here.
