The last time the businessman met with the Turkish leader was in Ankara in 2017; the collaboration between Musk and Turkey’s corporations has continued to develop since then.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan plans to meet with American businessman Elon Musk to discuss cooperation in various fields. In particular, we will talk about space technologies and batteries for electric vehicles. Bloomberg reported this on Sunday, September 17.
According to the publication, the meeting between Erdogan and Musk will take place at the new Turkish House, located near the UN headquarters in the United States.
Bloomberg indicates that Elon Musk’s company SpaceX is already working with the Turkish space program to launch communication satellites.
“Turkey is also seeking help in developing batteries for its first domestic electric vehicle, the Togg,” the report said.
In addition, Ankara is scheduled to launch the Turkish satellite Turksat 6A in June next year.
“Erdogan considers this a major milestone in terms of collecting intelligence that can be used for military purposes,” the publication added.
Musk last met Erdogan in Ankara in 2017.
The US Senate Armed Services Committee has begun investigating national security concerns raised by billionaire Elon Musk’s decision to block his private Starlink satellite network near occupied Crimea.
Let’s remember that CNN, citing a new biography of the billionaire, reported that Musk gave the order to disable the Starlink satellite communication network off the coast of Crimea in order to interrupt the attack that Ukraine is preparing against Russian Black Sea Fleet.
