India Sets the Stage for Tesla’s Factory, With a Twist of Witty Advice from Nothing Phone CEO Carl Pei
Carl Pei, the CEO of Nothing Phone, is causing quite a stir as he prepares to launch the highly anticipated “Nothing Phone 2a” in India next month. But it’s not just his new smartphone that has people talking – Pei recently shared some humorous advice for Tesla CEO Elon Musk on how he can successfully establish a factory in the country.
In a clever move, Pei suggested that Musk change his username on the X platform to “Elon Bhai” in order to win over the hearts of Indian consumers and pave the way for a Tesla factory in India. Pei himself has already made the change, going by the username ‘Carl Bhai‘.
“Elon Musk, did you really think you could build a Tesla factory in India without changing your username to Elon Bhai?” Pei tweeted, poking fun at the tech mogul.
Pei’s tweet has sparked a flurry of reactions from netizens, with one user commenting, “You are the Bhai, he will be the Mamu.” It seems the witty banter is not lost on Tesla enthusiasts in India.
But Pei didn’t stop there. Another user chimed in with a location-based twist, saying, “Depends on the location as well. If in Gujarat, then Elon Bhai. If in Maharashtra, then Elon Bhau. If in Telangana, then Elon Gaaru. If in Haryana, then Elon Tau. If in Punjab, then Elon Paaji. If in Tamil Nadu, then Elon Anna. And if in West Bengal, then Elon Dada.” Clearly, the suggestions are pouring in for Musk to embrace his new Indian persona.
The advice from Pei highlights the importance of understanding the local culture and embracing it in order to succeed in the Indian market. With the government’s push for electric vehicles and a growing demand for sustainable transportation options, India presents a significant opportunity for Tesla.
As Musk contemplates his next move in India, it remains to be seen whether he will take Pei’s advice to heart and adopt the persona of “Elon Bhai“. One thing is certain – the Indian market will be eagerly awaiting Tesla’s arrival, with the hopes of a new factory and a surge in electric vehicle production in the country.
