Elon Musk spotted spinning around with his phone during China visit
Elon Musk caught netizens’ attention during his visit to China to greet Donald Trump. Several senior administration officials and prominent American business leaders attended the U.S. President’s welcome ceremony at the Great Hall of the People in Beijing. A video went viral on X that showed the most influential businessmen waiting for the 79-year-old on the stairs in formal attire.
However, Musk appeared to be invested in something more. Netizens were left in stitches seeing the SpaceX founder spinning around with his phone. It seemed he was recording or taking photos of the surroundings. Although it might not be a big deal in today’s world, online users still couldn’t hold their laughter. While one called him a “little blogger,” many came up with hilarious memes.
A X user also commented, “This video shows WHY Elon is the BEST billionaire ever. Never Change Elon Musk. You are such a dork.” Another jokingly mentioned that he didn’t arrive at the summit to “talk business,” but to “be a photographer.” Furthermore, a journalist tweeted, “LMAO! While waiting for President Trump to arrive at the Chinese palace, @ElonMusk can be seen taking SELFIE VIDEOS on the stairs, presumably about to land here on X.”
Meanwhile, the US-China summit is said to be a two-day engagement. Moreover, NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang and Apple CEO Tim Cook were also spotted alongside Musk in the viral video.
