Tesla’s Chief Executive Elon Musk and Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro are scheduled to meet in Sao Paulo on Friday.
Musk and Bolsonaro will discuss a potential partnership on rural connectivity and deforestation monitoring, according to a report by Brazilian daily O Globo.
Musk had met with Brazilian Communications Minister Fabio Faria in November in Austin, Texas where the two spoke about using SpaceX technology to bring internet to rural schools and cut back on illegal deforestation in the Amazon rainforest.
According to the O Globo report, the Friday meeting will happen in an upscale hotel near the city of Sorocaba in Sao Paulo state.
The meeting will be attended by several business executives, including Telecom Italia Chief Executive Pietro Labriola and the chairman of Brazilian lender Banco BTG Pactual, Andre Esteves.
