Elon Musk and Tim Cook to join US delegation on China trip

techMay 12, 202615743

Elon Musk and Tim Cook will be among roughly 17 US chief executives accompanying President Donald Trump on his visit to China this week. The delegation is scheduled to attend meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The group centers top technology and corporate leaders from companies such as Tesla and Apple to press business, investment and technology interests during the trip. Their presence turns the visit into economic diplomacy with direct implications for trade, investment and technology cooperation between Washington and Beijing.

China, do me a favor and take out our trash for us... Thanks in advance.

I'm guessing they're not paying their own expenses.

This will be an epic fail - because Donnie can’t threaten or even pull of any bombings - that’s the only leverage he has against the weaker

The group of executives is joining Trump for a visit that the US president hopes will unlock business deals and purchase agreements with Beijing, and is comprised mostly of representatives of major financial, technology, aerospace and agricultural firms.

All on the same plane? That's usually called a massive security risk...

Will they be travelling on the same plane? 🙏

Maybe he needs to take a family farmer, a short-order cook, a school teacher, and a union auto worker to China, instead of business executives.

Did Nixon take corporate executives with him when he traveled to China? No, he was strong enough to deal with China by himself.

Lots of service providers, not manufacturers. He doesn’t have the cards.

When did the tech oligarchs become the foreign policy experts for the fed government ??? The trip should be called: The Grifters and Tax Welfare Recipients Tour

So our top corporate executives are telling China and the rest of the world that America is totally fine with powerful men raping women and young girls and degrading the lives of Black people, Brown people, and other minorities. The Epstein class are fucking traitors to American values.

America owes China a trillion dollars. They have no choice but to go kiss Xi Jinping's ring.

I suppose his status as an adjudicated felon doesn't keep him from traveling to China.

He's so embarrassed by his failed war that is fucking over China that he has to hide behind his big billionaire buddies when he goes to visit Xi.
