Tesla CEO Elon Musk’s father, Errol Musk on Monday heaped praise on Prime Minister Narendra Modi , saying that he is one of the best leaders in the world at the moment.
“I think he’s a fantastic leader, one of the best leaders in the world at the moment,” IANS quoted Errol Musk as saying.
When he was asked on India’s role globally in geopolitics, Musk said, “India is a sleeping giant, there’s no doubt about it…Now, with India having a GDP which is about the third or fourth highest in the world, it’s absolutely incredible. It’s ultimately a world power. What can I say except, it’s terrific. I tell you why it’s terrific, because Indian people seem to me to be very loving people. They are not aggressive, mean people. They are people who embrace a person. So that’s the kind of people we want to be in a position of being an important global power. We’re tired of this other kind.”

On India’s cultural, heritage and spirituality, Errol Musk said, “I am very keen on doing that (visit Ram Mandir in Ayodhya). I have a very humble appreciation of India’s incredible history. To my mind, the history of the world really probably comes back to India at some point. And we know that we have Vedas and so on that go back 14,000 years, and probably earlier. And so India has had lost civilisations, no doubt about that. Some of the Vedas even talk about flying vehicles. I have those Vedas with me. And I wrote a book that includes a lot of stories that includes information about India, Kashmir, Delhi and so on. And, I know India is a fascinating place. There’s no doubt about it, absolutely fascinating.”

When asked when Tesla might enter the Indian market, Musk said, “That is something that I have to be careful not to say too much about. Tesla is a public company. It’s not ours…When you look at India and the population, the kind of people you’ve got here, the energy and everything and when I hear that, with great respect, BYD and various others are coming in, and Tatas and Mahindra are making great cars, I’m very inclined to say, wait, why aren’t we having Teslas here. But I can’t say too much. That’s just a personal point of view.”
