Investing.com -- Billionaire Elon Musk spoke with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun by phone to explore bringing his business operations to Lebanon, according to a statement released by Aoun’s office Thursday.
During the call, Musk "expressed his interest in Lebanon and its telecommunications and internet sectors," the statement said.
President Aoun extended an invitation for Musk to visit Lebanon and indicated openness to having Musk’s companies establish a presence in the country. Lebanon currently ranks among nations with the slowest internet speeds globally.
The conversation follows a recent meeting in Beirut between Lebanese officials, including President Aoun, and Starlink’s Global Director of Licensing and Development, Sam Turner. These talks, which occurred a few weeks ago, focused on providing satellite internet services in Lebanon. U.S. Ambassador Lisa Johnson was present at those meetings.
