Sajjan Jindal’s claim on Elon Musk not succeeding in India leaves internet divided, ‘That ego will be shattered’

Steel Managing Director Sajjan Jindal claimed that Tesla boss Elon Musk will not be able to compete with Indian automakers. He dismissed the expectations of Musk disrupting the Indian market. “Elon Musk is not here. He is in the US….we Indians are here. He cannot produce what Mahindra can do, what Tata can do—it’s not possible," Jindal stated at the EY Entrepreneur of the Year awards programme. He also appreciated Musk's achievements and credited US President Donald Trump as well. “He (Musk) can do under Trump’s shadow, in the US. He’s super smart, no question about it. He’s a maverick, doing spacecraft and all that. He’s done amazing work, so I don’t want to take anything from him. But to be successful in India is not an easy job,” Jindal said.
