This meeting was part of Srettha's broader strategy to attract larger investments from companies like Tesla to bolster Thailand's electric vehicle sector.

[190] This support was notably demonstrated in 2010 when Srettha wore a red shirt featuring Thaksin's face, coinciding with his appointment as the head of the Royal Bangkok Polo club's football team.

[194][31] Despite these progressive stances, Srettha showed reluctance to propose changes to the lèse-majesté laws (which criminalize defamation, insults, and threats to the monarch of Thailand), a decision attributed to maintaining support within the coalition government formed by Pheu Thai with other parties.
