Những biểu cảm gây sốt của Musk trong chuyến thăm Trung Quốc.

In videos that went viral on X and Facebook, attracting millions of views, Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, repeatedly engaged in playful antics while posing for photos with other prominent tech leaders.

For example, he smirked, pouted, and widened his eyes while posing with Apple CEO Tim Cook, or winked while taking a selfie with Xiaomi CEO Lei Jun. In another video, Musk turned to take a picture of the scenery even while standing in line with many leaders from the US technology, finance, aerospace, and semiconductor industries accompanying President Trump. Many commented that the billionaire resembled a true tourist “busily checking in” to show off on social media.

“The fact that Elon is welcomed like a rock star in China says a lot. Innovation is truly respected everywhere,” one commenter on X said.

“I really like him. He’s very much Elon in a natural way. He’s simply enjoying the moment,” another person said.

US President Donald Trump made a state visit to China from May 12-14. He was accompanied by 17 business leaders with a combined personal net worth of $1.07 trillion, according to data from Forbes and filings from the US Securities and Exchange Commission compiled by Quiver Quantitative. Elon Musk topped the group with $827 billion, accounting for over 77% of the delegation’s total wealth.

Elon Musk has visited China numerous times. In 2023, he praised the country’s technological advancements and toured Tesla’s Gigafactory in Shanghai, amidst the nation becoming one of Tesla’s most important markets in terms of both sales and production.

Speaking to reporters during a trip with President Trump this week, Musk said he wants to achieve “many good things” in China. Despite facing significant price and technological pressure from domestic competitors, Tesla and Musk maintain their influence there. According to Arthur Kroeber, head of research at Gavekal Dragonomics, Musk is seeking licenses to sell self-driving taxis in China and to increase robot sales in the world’s second-largest country.
