Elon is by far doing the most to evolve human kind or as Peter Thiel says has us closest to getting flying cars," Agarwal wrote.

The Oyo founder shared a few remarks from Musk, in which he spoke about how India provides a sense of ‘Ancient and Great Civilisation’ and expressed his excitement for bilateral relations between India and the USA.
