New Delhi. Tesla of Elon Musk is in a lot of discussion these days in China. The company is also making a lot of headlines for its entry in India. Apart from this, it is also being opposed in many parts of the world including America. The reason for this is the proximity of Musk to Trump. Trump also recently bought Tesla Model S, showing his support for Musk.
