Elon Musk is joining President Trump on a major trip to Beijing, signaling a notable shift after the pair’s well-documented falling out in 2025.

The Tesla CEO will be traveling alongside other corporate heavyweights like Apple’s Tim Cook and BlackRock’s Larry Fink as part of the U.S. delegation, as more than a dozen business leaders from Wall Street to Silicon Valley join the trip.

Trump is preparing for a high-profile meeting with President Xi, with economic cooperation and corporate ties expected to take center stage in a rare show of business alignment alongside a presidential visit.

The trip could shape the tone of economic relations between the two countries going forward, as U.S. officials say the president wants to discuss the creation of a board of investment and a board of trade with China, as business leaders may prove to be just as much in the spotlight as the bilateral meeting itself.
