It seems like Ghana’s plans for lithium mining have caught the attention of Elon Musk, the CEO and co-founder of Tesla. Given the importance of lithium to his company’s operations, it wouldn’t be surprising if he considers visiting Ghana in the near future. It’s always exciting to see how these opportunities unfold and the potential it holds for both Ghana and Tesla.
“I am happy that something from Ghana will go to space because lithium is one of the things that help in space exploration. Talking about batteries and all. And from the look of things, we might soon receive a visit from Elon Musk.
“Ghana is now closer to California due to lithium,” he stated while appearing as a guest on Peace FM’s Kokrokoo morning show.
The agreement between the Ghanaian government and Barari DV Limited for lithium mining has attracted criticism regarding the benefits Ghana will receive. Critics, including the IEA, argue that the 10% royalty offered to Ghana is not sufficient for the country’s development. However, the government believes that it is the best deal ever signed for mining Ghana’s natural resources. It’s a complex situation with differing opinions on the matter.
