(Reuters) - Elon Musk, Tesla Inc's (TSLA.O) chief executive, said in a tweet here that he is looking forward to breaking ground on the new Tesla Shanghai Gigafactory on Monday.

Tesla has opened a tender process to build a $2 billion plant in Shanghai - dubbed a Gigafactory - and at least one contractor has started buying materials, Reuters reported last month.
