This is what Kihara posted on his Twitter page.
”Hey @elonmusk, I am an entrepreneur based in Kenya. I have a great proposal on how Tesla can break into the African market while still keeping the prices of the vehicles relatively affordable. This is me shooting my shot, I hope to hear from you.”
The tweep also tagged the two companies owned by Musk under his post just to ensure that the post does not go unnoticed.
Social media users also camped on his post with some pleading on his behalf that the Tesla boss gives his idea a shot.
However, there were others who tried to discourage the businessman by saying that Musk his yet to invest his companies in Africa despite being born in Africa.
Here are some of the comments from the young entrepreneur’s post.
@Zackybeta said:
”He is from South Africa where their capacity to buy new vehicles is normal and regular. Tesla has not ventured there, as a token of appreciation as their ‘son’. I am not trashing your proposal, just shoot.”
@LawiNjeremani commented:
”Good move. Consider the Kenyan taxman who still views Electronic Vehicles (EVs) as “luxury” cars. You may also need to lobby parliament for laws enabling EVs to compete with the ICE big money.”
@Lillywanjala added:
”Keep shooting. There will just be one day…God’s speed.”

”They are yet to satisfy the demand in the western countries to bother with a continent still struggling with the basics.”
@kingedwin7 advised:
”Bro get a working prototype these guys do not listen to proposals and great ideas. Just from the companies he has guess how many world changing ideas musk has in his head. Get something working and he might come to you.”
