BEIJING May 14, 2026 – Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk voiced strong confidence in the ongoing high-level US-China discussions, stating he has “a good feeling about these talks” and believes they will yield “a good result.”
Musk made the remarks during President Donald Trump’s official visit to Beijing, where Trump is holding a landmark summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. The US delegation includes a powerhouse group of American business leaders, among them Apple CEO Tim Cook, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, and executives from Meta, Boeing, BlackRock, Visa, JP Morgan, and others.
In a short video clip circulating widely on social media, Musk — dressed in a dark suit and speaking in a formal indoor setting — addressed reporters about the day’s meetings. “I have a good feeling about these talks. I think there will be a good result is my guess,” he said. Earlier, Musk described the talks as “awesome” when asked by White House pool reporters.
The summit, which includes a high-profile state banquet hosted by Xi, focuses on trade, economic cooperation, technology, and strategic stability. Chinese officials have signaled that Beijing will “open wider” to US businesses, with discussions reportedly covering increased market access, major Chinese purchases of Boeing aircraft, soybeans, oil, and LNG, as well as cooperation on curbing fentanyl precursors.
Musk, who has significant business interests in China through Tesla’s Shanghai Gigafactory, was seen participating in meetings with Chinese Premier Li Qiang alongside the other CEOs. He notably brought his young son, X Æ A-Xii, to some of the events, drawing additional attention.
The @america account — a political action committee founded by Elon Musk — shared the video clip of Musk’s comments on X (formerly Twitter), generating thousands of likes and reposts within hours. The post highlights Musk’s upbeat outlook on the bilateral relationship at a time when both sides are seeking to manage tensions while advancing economic ties.
Analysts describe the Trump-Xi meeting as a bid for tactical stabilization rather than a full reset, with both leaders aiming to prevent escalation while keeping channels open on trade, security, and regional issues.
Musk’s public optimism comes as US and Chinese officials work behind the scenes on confidence-building measures, including potential steps toward strategic stability in areas such as arms control and crisis communications.
Further details on agreements from the summit are expected in the coming hours as the high-level talks continue. Life News Agency will provide updates as more information becomes available.
