During a high-profile diplomatic and business summit in Beijing, Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk was seen attending key meetings alongside his 6-year-old son, X Æ A-Xii, as part of a major U.S. delegation visiting China with former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The visit comes as Trump leads a large group of American business leaders to China for discussions on trade, technology, artificial intelligence, and investment ties between the two global powers. Musk was among several top executives invited to participate in meetings with Chinese leadership, reflecting his continued business interests in the country through Tesla’s Shanghai operations and broader technology partnerships.
According to multiple reports, Musk’s son accompanied him during at least one of the high-level appearances in Beijing, including a meeting involving Chinese Premier Li Qiang and other international executives. The child was seen walking alongside his father inside official venues, drawing significant public attention and quickly going viral on social media platforms in China and abroad.
The summit itself included wide-ranging discussions between U.S. and Chinese officials on economic cooperation, semiconductor access, electric vehicle manufacturing, rare earth materials, and artificial intelligence development. The presence of leading tech executives — including Musk — highlighted the importance of private industry in shaping global trade relations during the visit.
Musk’s participation also reflects his long-standing business ties with China. Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory remains one of the company’s most important production hubs, and Musk has repeatedly emphasized China’s role in global electric vehicle supply chains and clean energy expansion.
The appearance of Musk’s son added a rare personal dimension to an otherwise formal diplomatic setting. Observers noted the contrast between high-level geopolitical negotiations and a family moment unfolding inside one of the world’s most influential political meetings.
The visit has sparked widespread media attention, not only for its political and economic significance, but also for the symbolic image of global tech leadership blending with family life at the center of international diplomacy.
