Although allegedly has been estranged from the White House for several months, Elon Musk, the richest man on the planet, reappeared behind President Donald Trump during his arrival to China.

The Republican president is considering meeting with Chinese President Xi Jinping to stop the tariff war implemented since his second arrival to the White House and that last year involved up to 145% of charging the products of the Asian nation that entered the U.S. commercial market.

In this sense, one of Trump's strong cards to negotiate cooperation agreements between the United States and China is to offer the contribution of several transnational companies.

Hence the importance that Elon Musk figures as the most important business leader supporting the 79-year-old Republican, this despite the distancing that emerged between both.

Although the richest man on a global level is considered a pillar of the campaign that conquered Trump's return to Washington from more than $200 million d e dollars donated to his presidential candidacy, at a time he was uncomfortable and chose to leave outside the Department of Government Efficiency(DOGE).

From there, a war was declared between both characters and even Musk even threatened to found his own political party, which did not transcend.

On the other hand, Trump hinted that he could start a witch hunt to practically drive his patron out of the United States, a situation that did not occur either.

While publicly both tycoons challenged each other, in privately they signed million-dollar collaboration agreements linked to technological contracts linked to the aerospace industry and the Pentagon.

In that way, the alleged verbal war between Trump and Musk was only a kind of smokescreen to divert attention from the real problems in the American economy.

That's why, faced with the challenge of convincing China to cooperate with the United States in various aspects linked to geopolitics and geoeconomics, the U.S. president returned to re to enlist the co-founder of Tesla to help him lead at least 15 other entrepreneurs to speak to the Chinese government about important projects aimed at their market.

“I will ask President Xi, a leader of extraordinary distinction, to ‘open up’ China so that these brilliant people can unfold their magic and help take the People’s Republic to an even higher level.

In fact, I promise that when we are together, which will happen in a matter of hours, that will be my first request. I've never seen any or “I have never talked about any ideas that could be more beneficial for our incredible countries!”, Trump wrote on the Truth Social platform.
