Elon Musk met with Indonesia's president to discuss cooperation on nickel mining and processing

Indonesia, with its impressive nickel reserves, has been a focus for Tesla's leadership before, but in previous phases of negotiations the parties were unable to reach a compromise.
The government was interested in developing complex production facilities on its territory, and Tesla wanted them to be as environmentally friendly as possible.
Negotiations continued during the Indonesian president's visit to Texas.Image source: Laily Rachev, ReutersJoko Widodo visited Tesla headquarters last Saturday, according to Reuters, meeting with Elon Musk to discuss possible investments and high-tech cooperation.
The preliminary stage of negotiations had been held earlier and also discussed investment in the mining industry in Indonesia, which specializes in nickel, used in the manufacture of traction batteries for electric cars.
This year, the price of nickel has skyrocketed, and Tesla was forced to preventively raise the price of electric cars by thousands of dollars.Before that, according to a source, Tesla representatives visited Indonesia for talks on investment in traction battery production.
It should be said that Tesla's competitors are already actively exploring this territory.
LG Energy Solution and CATL have agreed to invest $9 billion each in facilities to produce lithium batteries in Indonesia, and Hyundai Motor will assemble electric cars in this country based on batteries of the Korean partner.The President of Indonesia also visited the SpaceX launch pad in Texas because he is also interested in cooperation with Elon Musk in the aerospace industry.
Earlier he offered the billionaire to use Indonesia to launch spacecraft.
At the moment, it is not reported that any contracts were signed after the meeting between Ilon Musk and Joko Widodo.

Elon Musk suggested that over 90% of Twitter users could be bots

Transactions for the sale of large companies are slightly different in duration from the usual sales of video cards on Avito or buying an apartment - they can last for months even when a buyer has already been found and has expressed his intention to buy.
Everyone knows that at the moment the American billionaire and idol of dreamers, Ilon Musk, is in the process of acquiring the social network Twitter.
Musk's intentions are commendable, because he talks about his desire to free Twitter from censorship and give users back their freedom of speech.
A slightly different opinion on this issue is held by the head of Roscosmos, who spoke about the true goals of Ilon Musk.In any case, the deal to buy Twitter is not only still not closed, but also suspended on the initiative of the buyer.
According to some experts, Musk deliberately drags it out, realizing that he overpaid and is trying by all means to bring down the share price of his future acquisition.The reason for the suspension was the desire of Ilon Musk to check whether the number of bots in Twitter is really no more than 5%, as the company owner himself assures.
Naturally, Musk wouldn't be Musk if he didn't discuss this question on Twitter itself.
He published a post in which he suggests that the number of bots on the network can reach over 90% of the number of daily active users.
This idea was suggested by the fact that the most popular tweets in the whole Twitter history received likes from only 2% of active users.If Musk completely sabotages the deal and refuses to buy Twitter, he will have to pay compensation of $1 billion.
At the moment, Musk has already been reprimanded by Twitter lawyers for violating the non-disclosure agreement by telling everyone that the sample size for bot checks is 100 accounts.Source: wccftechA rewarded postThis material was written by a website visitor, and a reward was accrued for it.
