Elon Musk is currently in China. The world’s richest man traveled to Beijing for a state visit as part of the US delegation along with President Donald Trump.
Musk is not the only business representative accompanying Trump on the state visit, but he is probably the most prominent. In addition, he is likely to be the only one – apart from Trump – who has his son with him. In contrast to Eric Trump, his son X Æ A-12 is still a toddler: he only turned six at the beginning of May. Musk has often had it in the past at important official events or press conferences, for example in the White Houseincluded.
The Tesla and SpaceX founder is not only attracting attention in China because a little boy is playing around with the tail of his skirt. He also makes a name for himself on social media because of his own behavior:

A video of an official reception by the US delegation is circulating online. All members stand patiently in line and wait – everyone except Musk. He turns in circles with his cell phone outstretched and appears to be filming a video.
At a gala a little later, the multi-billionaire intentionally made strange faces in photos, but on the other hand his face seemed to keep slipping away from the cameras, which was reflected on social media old suspicions of his drug use let it boil up again. (lzo)
