US President Donald Trump is in Beijing for a high-level summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping, with talks covering trade, technology and global tensions. He is joined by senior officials and top US business leaders, including Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Nvidia chief Jensen Huang.Even though Trump’s visit marks his first trip to China since his 2017 presidential visit during his earlier term in office, it was Musk who stole the spotlight during the official welcome ceremony.A viral clip shows him holding up his phone and filming a 360-degree video of the venue instead of standing with the delegation. Social media users joked that Musk looked more like a first-time tourist than a business executive.Uno que esta disfrutando el viaje a china es el elon musk(Míralo al pibe bessnet ahi al lado) pic.twitter.com/34l1El9qdx— ElBuni (@therealbuni) May 14, 2026Netizens react:“I imagine the intelligence services of both sides hacking each other’s communications,” a user wrote. Another joked, “he is scanning the Chinese… what a legend!”“At least he’s behaving well, I hope he doesn’t get upset and start raising his arms, hopefully someone is taking care of him xq he doesn’t handle extreme happiness well,” a person commented.“Hahahahaha it’s a little kid with a phone filming everything,” another wrote. A comment read, “Are you looking for Pokémon?” while another user said, “He looks like a tourist. Not there on business. He definitely cannot tell him to put his phone away.”
