Musk denies WSJ report about talks with Saudi Arabia to establish EV plant

RIYADH: Tesla CEO Elon Musk on Monday denied reports stating Saudi Arabia was in discussions with the company regarding the establishment of a production facility in the Kingdom.

The Wall Street Journal reported the matter citing unnamed sources.

However, Musk rejected the report via his account on social media platform X, formerly called Twitter.

It would be pertinent to mention here that the Kingdom has an existing partnership with Lucid Group, a direct competitor of Tesla in the electric vehicle market.
