Billionaire Elon Musk drew significant attention on the morning of 14/5 at the People's Great Hall of China in Beijing. Dressed in a formal black suit, Musk stood out among US officials and delegation members, including Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and Apple CEO Tim Cook, during the welcome ceremony for the US president.
While others engaged in conversation, maintaining a straight line, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO focused entirely on filming. He slowly turned 360 degrees, pointing his phone in various directions to capture the entire scene.
This moment quickly garnered widespread notice, attracting hundreds of thousands of views on social media. Many users expressed amusement at Musk's relaxed demeanor and his height.
"True to form, Musk is as playful as a child, while those around him exude an air of authority", one X user commented. Another remarked, "You do not notice the difference until you compare, and once you compare, you will be shocked. Musk is so tall that standing in a crowd, he looks like a crane among chickens." The billionaire is reportedly 1.88 meters tall.
Playful comments also emerged: "Is he looking for Pokemon?", one viewer quipped. "I think he is checking China's network signal", another responded. Musk himself offered no comment, simply leaving a smiling emoji after a social media post about him.
Musk, with a net worth of USD 827 billion, was among 17 business leaders accompanying the US president on this visit to China. This marked President Trump's first return to China in 9 years as the US president.
