A person wrote on X, "LMFAO!! Look at the faces Elon Musk is making right now while taking photos with Apple CEO Tim Cook at the Chinese State Banquet. Elon is a GEM, our favorite autistic billionaire."
Another commented, "He's creating for us another timeless internet meme."
A clip of Elon Musk with his son X during his visit to Beijing, China, also grabbed much attention on social media.
