Meanwhile, Musk @elonmusk seemed extremely popular at the state banquet, with people constantly approaching him for photos — including Lei Jun, the founder of Xiaomi, which makes Xiaomi EVs and smartphones. At every Xiaomi car launch event, Lei Jun never stops comparing his cars to Tesla’s Model Y. This time, he finally got to meet the idol he has long admired. He immediately walked over to ask for a selfie together (around the 5-second mark in the video). Unfortunately, judging from Musk’s expression, he seemed not to recognize Lei Jun at all — and appeared somewhat impatient with these endless “Chinese counterparts” coming over one after another asking for photos. While taking the selfie with Lei Jun, Musk made a lot of faces, and after that, Musk did not engage in any conversation. He simply started softly whistling, picked up his phone, and went right back to posting on X. Based on the timing, that was probably the exact moment he replied to “Teacher Li Is Not Your Teacher” @whyyoutouzhele!
