Erdogan’s office also said Musk wanted to bring his Starlink service to Turkey. In addition, Turkey is seeking help in developing batteries for its first homegrown electric vehicle, the Togg.

Erdogan has called that an important milestone in gathering intelligence that could be used for military purposes.
