Elon Musk

Musk is expected to meet with senior Chinese officials and tour Tesla's Shanghai factory, according to Reuters.

"That was many years ago. Their cars are highly competitive these days," Musk said.

Elon Musk last visited China in January 2020, when he showed off a dance during a delivery ceremony for Tesla's first China-made Model 3 vehicles.

Zhu was in Austin this week and brought some of his engineering team from China to help oversee the Giga Texas ramp-up, according to Bloomberg.

Xpeng's CEO believes that China's EV industry started early and it will take at least 10 more years of hard work to truly lead the world.

"Whatever you may think of China, this is simply a fact," Musk said.

The man, dubbed on the internet as "Yi Long Musk", posted some videos emulating the Tesla CEO and went viral.

China is the world's largest market for new cars and electric vehicles and will account for 25 or 30 percent of Tesla's total business in the long run, Musk said.

The world's richest man received thousands of donations from Chinese Internet users for an ancient Chinese poem.

Poetry was often used by ancient Chinese literary scholars to express their emotions, and now Tesla CEO Elon Musk has done the same.
