Elon Musk and Apple CEO Tim Cook are expected to accompany President Trump on an upcoming trip to China, according to reports. The pairing of two of America's most China-exposed tech executives alongside the president signals the visit carries significant economic and trade weight beyond standard diplomatic protocol.
Both Musk and Cook have substantial business interests tied to China — Tesla operates a major Gigafactory in Shanghai, while Apple relies on Chinese manufacturing for the bulk of its hardware supply chain. Their presence alongside Trump suggests trade terms, tariff relief, and supply-chain access could all be on the table.
