Mahindra's Advocacy For Manufacturing Recognition

Echoing Musk's sentiments, Mahindra advocated for the acknowledgment of manufacturing heroes and the depiction of the manufacturing process in films.

He suggested that such portrayals would garner significant viewership, drawing attention to the industry's contributions and challenges.

What Elon Musk Posted On X?

The tweet of Elon Musk is mentioned below.

Many movies exist about a lone inventor in a garage having a eureka moment, but almost none about manufacturing, so it’s underappreciated by the public.

Compared to the insane pain of reaching high-volume, positive-margin production, prototypes are a piece of cake. https://t.co/WKNeSFDY74 — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) March 28, 2024
