However, Musk took to X to \u200cdeny the report, calling it &#8220;yet another utterly false \u2062article from WSJ.&#8221;<\/p>\n<h3>Saudi Arabia&#8217;s Mining Stakes and Tesla&#8217;s Expansion \u200dPlans<\/h3>\n<p>The report also mentioned that Saudi Arabia \u2063is working to secure \u2063$15 billion in mining \u2063stakes from several African nations. This \u200daligns with Tesla&#8217;s need for metals\u200b and minerals for its electric vehicles. Meanwhile, Musk\u2064 has previously stated that Tesla\u2062 aims to sell 20 million vehicles a \u2062year by 2030, up from about 1.3 million in 2022.

Erdogan called on Tesla to establish its seventh factory in Turkey, highlighting\u2062 the success of the \u200cTurkish electric car Togg. Images \u2063of their meeting were shared on X\u200c by Turkish government officials.<\/p>\n<h3>Controversy Surrounding Saudi Arabia&#8217;s \u200dActions<\/h3>\n<p>The Wall Street Journal&#8217;s report \u200dcomes in the wake of a Saudi Arabia court sentencing a retired teacher\u200d to death over critical posts made on X, which is \u200cowned by Musk.\u200d Amnesty\u200b International has criticized the Saudi government for this incident, urging them\u200d to drop the conviction and death penalty.<\/p>\n<p><em>Reuters contributed to this\u2062 report.<\/em><\/p>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> What was discussed during the meeting between Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Elon Musk regarding a potential Tesla\u200c factory \u200cin Turkey<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u2064Tesla CEO Elon Musk\u2064 has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/utterly-false-elon-musk-responds-to-wall-street-journals-tesla-report\/\" title=\"Elon Musk denies Wall Street Journal's Tesla report as 'completely untrue'.\">denied reports claiming<\/a> \u200bthat the company will be constructing a large factory in Saudi Arabia.
