Musk, who is chief executive of both companies, appeared lit by candles, wearing a batik shirt sent by the organizers and said he was speaking from a place that had just lost power.

The question of whether Tesla (TSLA) will suffer because Musk is preoccupied with Twitter has become a focus for investors and analysts.

Indonesia has been trying to secure a deal with Tesla on battery investment and potentially for Elon Musk’s SpaceX aerospace company to develop a rocket launch site.

Musk made no commitment to either of those but said Indonesia had a large role to play in the electric vehicle supply chain and that it would make sense “long term” for SpaceX to have multiple launch points around the globe.
