A Tip of the Hat to India and Prime Minister Modi
Maye’s visit to India is not just about birthday celebrations. She also acknowledged Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s recent post about his conversation with Elon Musk. PM Modi wrote:
“Spoke with @elonmusk and discussed several matters, including the issues we addressed during our Washington DC meeting last spring. Discussed the enormous potential for cooperation in the field of technology and innovation. India is steadfastly committed to promoting our cooperation with the US in these fields.”
