“Nothing CEO Wants Elon Musk to be Called ‘Elon Bhai’ – Here’s Why”

Nothing CEO Carl Pei has sparked a lighthearted social media exchange, urging Tesla’s Elon Musk to adopt the moniker ‘Elon Bhai’, following reports of Tesla’s anticipated foray into the Indian market. The playful banter unfolded after Pei changed his own social media username to ‘Carl Bhai’ in response to an amusing interaction with an Indian follower.

The exchange began when a user named Raman queried Nothing India’s decision to enlist actor Ranveer Singh as their brand ambassador, prompting Pei to humorously retort, “We want to sell more phones bhai.” This exchange garnered attention, leading Pei to jest that Musk should follow suit and embrace the title ‘Elon Bhai’ as Tesla allegedly prepares to establish a manufacturing facility in India.

Taking to social media platform X (formerly known as Twitter), Pei cheekily addressed Musk, quipping, “@elonmusk did you really think you could build a Tesla factory in India without changing your username to Elon Bhai?” This light-hearted exchange adds a touch of humor to the anticipation surrounding Nothing’s upcoming phone launch in India and its choice of Ranveer Singh as a brand ambassador.

Reports suggest that Nothing Phone (2a) is set to debut in global markets, including India, on March 5, with Singh slated to feature prominently in their advertising campaign. To embrace the playful spirit of the exchange, Nothing has also adjusted their social media handles, incorporating ‘Bhai’ into their accounts, such as ‘Nothing India Bhai’ and ‘CMF Bhai Nothing’.

Meanwhile, speculation surrounding Tesla’s entry into the Indian market has been rife, with Bloomberg reporting last December that the company is nearing an agreement with Indian authorities to commence electric car shipments by 2024 and establish a local manufacturing facility within two years. This development comes in the wake of the Indian government’s decision not to reduce taxes on imported electric vehicles, a move that had previously impacted Tesla’s plans to enter the Indian market in 2022.

As anticipation mounts for Nothing’s phone launch and Tesla’s potential expansion into India, the lighthearted exchange between Pei and Musk serves as a playful reminder of the camaraderie within the tech community amidst significant industry developments.
