The head of electric carmaker Tesla Elon Musk thanked President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for his invitation to Türkiye's largest aerospace and technology festival Teknofest, as he congratulated all the teams competing in the festival on Friday.

In a message he posted on Twitter (formerly known as X), Musk said he would be attending the festival in person next year.

He also said he would discuss further opportunities for investment in Türkiye.

In response to Musk, President Erdoğan said Türkiye will be pleased to host him at Teknofest next year.

"Dear @elonmusk, we will be extremely pleased to host you at next year's @Teknofest," Erdoğan said on Twitter, adding that he believes cooperation with the tech magnate based on a win-win ideology will greatly contribute to Türkiye and humanity.

He continued by adding that he hopes to see Musk soon.

Earlier this month, Erdoğan held a meeting with Elon Musk, the head of electric carmaker Tesla, in New York and invited him to establish a factory in Türkiye.

Erdoğan and Musk have held a string of meetings both in Türkiye and on the sidelines of international forums, developing a seeming friendship that they extended on Sunday in New York.
