Invest In India For High-Quality, Large-Scale Tesla EV Manufacturing If Twitter Bid Fails: SII's Adar Poonawalla To Elon Musk

Serum Institute of India CEO Adar Poonawalla has called upon Elon Musk to invest in India for high-quality local manufacturing of Tesla EVs if the tech billionaire fails to buy Twitter.

"Hey Elon Musk just in case you don't end up buying Twitter, do look at investing some of that capital in INDIA for high-quality large-scale manufacturing of Tesla cars," Poonawalla said in a tweet on Sunday (8 May).

"I assure you this will be the best investment you'll ever make," Poonwalla added.

Serum Institute of India, which is world's largest vaccine-maker by volume, has played a massive role in global immunisation efforts against Covid-19 by supplying billions of doses of Covid-19 vaccines across the globe.

It should be noted that Elon Musk had last month struck a deal with Twitter board to buy 100 per cent stake in the micro-blogging website at a price of $54.20 a share, valuing the platform at nearly $44 billion. The deal is expected to close later this year.
