The transaction could amount to at least $50 billion if Musk keeps his 20 percent stake in the company.

"This is a typical 'flight to quality' move from foreign investors out of emerging markets to safer, developed countries," Agathe Demarais, lead Turkey analyst at the Economist Intelligence Unit, told AFP.
