Indonesia plans to pitch data-center opportunities to Elon Musk

Live Mint  

NUSA DUA, Indonesia—Indonesia plans to pitch business opportunities, including data centers, to Elon Musk, although he previously declined a proposal to build an electric-vehicle battery factory in the country, a government adviser said. Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan, chairman of Indonesia’s National Economic Council, said he suggested the battery-factory idea to Musk, but was turned down due to Indonesia’s distance from Tesla’s car factories. Luhut said he would continue pitching business opportunities in the coming months, including the possibility of building data centers for xAI, Musk’s artificial-intelligence company. Luhut said he plans to meet Musk in the U.S. after Trump’s inauguration, around February, to discuss potential xAI investments in Indonesia data centers.
