Billion People Backing You": Why China Is Supporting #ElonMusk Amid Feud With #TRUMP ๐ฅ๐
The drama between ๐ฅ Elon Musk and ๐บ๐ธ President Donald Trump started over Trumpโs controversial tax bill. Musk called it a "disgusting abomination" ๐คข, leading to a heated exchange. Musk even suggested Trump should be impeached and accused the government of hiding ties to Jeffrey Epstein ๐.
Then things escalated โก๏ธ when Musk promised to create a new political party, the America Party ๐บ๐ธ๐ผ, if Trumpโs "One Big Beautiful Bill" passed the Senate โ and it did โ .
The bill, which Musk branded "insane" ๐คฏ, is expected to add $3.3 trillion ๐ธ to the US national debt ๐ณ. Hours after its approval, the hashtag #MuskWantsToBuildAnAmericaParty blew up on Weibo ๐ฌ, reaching 37 million views ๐.
Chinese netizens have shown strong support ๐ช for Musk, with one commenting: โBrother Musk, youโve got over a billion people on our side backing youโ ๐.
Muskโs popularity in China ๐จ๐ณ comes from his massive success with Tesla ๐ and his deep ties to the country. Tesla is the only major Western carmaker competing against local brands in China ๐๏ธ. Musk also has strong relationships with ๐จ๐ณ Premier Li Qiang and enjoys a large fanbase due to his achievements ๐.
On the flip side, Trump is seen as the President who launched the most aggressive trade war with China โ๏ธ. Trump posted on Truth Social that without government subsidies, Musk would have to "close up shop and head back to South Africa" ๐. Musk responded ๐ฅ: โI am literally saying CUT IT ALL. Now.โ
Despite the tension with Trump, Musk has significant support in China, where his business ties and influence are widely respected ๐.
