Staff Reporter

Amid widespread speculation, it has been confirmed that Elon Musk will not be attending the upcoming Business Summit in Bangladesh. This information was disclosed by Chowdhury Ashik Mahmud Bin Harun, Executive Director of the Bangladesh Investment Development Authority (BIDA), during a press briefing on March 23, Sunday, at the Foreign Service Academy on Bailey Road in Dhaka.

Harun stated, “If Elon Musk were coming, you would have known by now. Elon Musk is now part of the US government. While he previously visited various countries on behalf of Starlink, the situation is different now.”

Meanwhile, an internal BIDA source revealed that the Yunus administration failed to convince Elon Musk to visit Bangladesh. The source indicated that despite sending representatives to the US and making diplomatic efforts through the embassy, no positive outcome was achieved.

The BIDA Executive Director added, “Starlink officials will conduct a demonstration on April 9. Government officials attending the investment conference at Hotel Intercontinental will participate in the testing session.”

He further mentioned, “It will take some more time for Starlink’s commercial operations to officially begin. However, we are mindful of the 90-day target period.”

Harun reassured that once Starlink’s operations officially commence, efforts will be made to invite Elon Musk to Bangladesh.
