Norway’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs has drawn attention to the blunder in a tweet that has been widely circulated:
“As much as we enjoy our excellent bilateral relations and close alphabetical proximity to Nigeria, we would appreciate it if you could refer to us as Norway.”
Elon Musk apologized on Wednesday for the mistake without explaining why it occurred.
This week, Forbes noted that Frenchman Bernard Arnault, CEO of the luxury brand group LVMH, has taken over the position of the world’s richest man from Elon Musk.
