Tesla will commence sales in Saudi Arabia next month, suggesting improved relations between CEO Elon Musk and the kingdom following past disputes linked to Musk’s attempted privatization of the company in 2018. The launch event in Riyadh is scheduled for April 10.
Tesla is set to begin sales in Saudi Arabia next month, a significant move highlighted on the company’s website. This announcement indicates that CEO Elon Musk and Saudi officials have reconciled following a previous dispute that stemmed from Musk’s brief attempt to privatize the company in 2018. At that time, Musk controversially tweeted about having “funding secured” after discussions with the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, which led to a lawsuit from investors due to the failed bid.
The reconciliation between Tesla and Saudi Arabia marks a new chapter for the electric vehicle manufacturer as it prepares for a launch event in Riyadh on April 10. As Tesla seeks to regain traction in global markets amid declining sales in Europe, this initiative could strengthen its presence in the Middle East amid ongoing political dynamics.
