Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had a unique and futuristic experience during his recent visit to the United States when he met with billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla. The highlight of their encounter was a tour of Tesla’s factory in Fremont, California, where Musk provided insights into the company’s advancements and showcased various Tesla models.
During the visit, Musk took Netanyahu and his wife, Sara Netanyahu, for a ride in a battery-electric full-size pickup truck, which turned out to be none other than Tesla’s highly anticipated ‘Cybertruck.’ This electric vehicle, scheduled for release later this year, boasts an impressive range of 250–500 miles and an estimated acceleration time from 0 to 60 mph of 2.9–6.5 seconds.
The official Twitter account of the Prime Minister of Israel shared pictures and videos from the meeting, including moments of the Netanyahu couple in the Cybertruck. The posts highlighted their visit to the Tesla Motors plant, where they received an overview of Tesla’s advancements and observed the production and assembly line for advanced electric vehicles.
Tesla’s Cybertruck, unveiled in 2019, features a distinctive, geometric design and is constructed using stainless steel commonly found in rockets. The company’s website touts the Cybertruck as offering “better utility than a truck with more performance than a sports car.”
Beyond the exciting ride in the unreleased Cybertruck, the meeting between Netanyahu and Musk extended to discussions on various topics, including artificial intelligence. Notably, Mr. Netanyahu urged Elon Musk to take steps to combat anti-Semitism on his X platform during their conversation.
In addition to his meeting with Elon Musk, Prime Minister Netanyahu’s U.S. visit includes scheduled encounters with world leaders such as U.S. President Joe Biden, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. These discussions touch on significant global issues, including international relations, technology, and combating hate speech.
