Tesla CEO Elon Musk met with Hungarian President Katalin Novak yesterday at the company\u2019s Texas Gigafactory, which is also the EV maker\u2019s headquarters, to discuss matters like demographic decline and the war in Ukraine.<\/p>\n
At the end of the meeting, an official video from the Hungarian Presidency was posted on Musk\u2019s official X (formerly Twitter) account showing Novak climbing inside a Cybertruck and setting off for a test drive.<\/p>\n
X \u00c6 A-12, the son of Musk and Grimes, was also present both during the meeting room discussions and on the factory floor, where his dad carried him on his shoulders and showed everybody around the facility, as the video embedded below reveals.<\/p>\n
This is just the latest encounter between Tesla\u2019s CEO and a world leader, with Musk speaking previously with Israel\u2019s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Thailand\u2019s Prime Minister Sretta Thavisin, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.<\/p>\n
In an official Facebook post, Hungary\u2019s president highlighted the importance of family, positioning herself as a pro-family politician in the discussion that touched on topics such as finding ways of encouraging young people to have children, describing the current situation as a \u201cdemographic ice age.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two also spoke about the war in Ukraine, agreeing that an immediate ceasefire and lasting peace is needed, according to the official statement (embedded below).<\/p>\n
The new Tesla HQ entrance and redesigned reception were finished just in time for the Hungarian President\u2019s visit, with the company\u2019s head honcho posting a couple of pictures of the shiny new decor on his X account on the same day as the official visit.<\/p>\n
The newly completed entry features a reflective floor and rectangular white archways, while the new reception inside is decorated with a trapezoidal, angular desk reminiscent of the Cybertruck\u2019s edgy design. Just like outside, rectangular structures surround the reception desk, and there are white chairs and tables in the waiting areas.<\/p>\n
