Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has asked Tesla CEO Elon Musk to build a Tesla factory in Turkey, according to the state-owned Anadolu Agency.

Erdogan asked Musk during a meeting at Turkish House, a skyscraper near the United Nations in New York, the Turkish news agency said on the social media platform X on Sunday.

Erdogan is in the United States to attend the 78th session of the United Nations General Assembly. Tesla and the Turkish embassy in Washington, DC did not immediately respond to requests for comment from the Reuters news agency.
