Ni Hao, Comrade: Elon Musk Stars in Chinese Embassy Event on Space Exploration
A recent Chinese embassy event focused on the future of space exploration heavily featured Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk who has dramatically increased his production of electric vehicles in the communist country.
The South China Morning Post reports that Elon Musk was a key feature of a recent event at Beijing’s embassy in Washington DC on Saturday that focused on space exploration. Musk reportedly pre-recorded a segment about space travel which was played on three large screens to an audience of schoolchildren, their parents and teachers, embassy staff, and journalists.
In the segment, Musk states: “I look forward to humanity working together to form self-sustaining civilization on Mars and other planets.” The inclusion of Musk in the event comes after Beijing accused the United States of irresponsible and unsafe conduct in space last year over two “close encounters” between China’s space station and satellites operated by SpaceX. – READ MORE
