On the evening of December 6 last week, Elon Musk appeared in a self-cut haircut for a remote interview with the Wall Street Journal CEO Summit.

In response to a question from an audience about the U.S.-China relationship, Lao Ma said, "I think we are at an interesting moment in history, and in anyone's oldest memory, the United States has always been the world's largest economy."

I think the U.S. became the largest economy probably 120, 130 years ago, and there were no longer such long-lived people, and who can remember when the United States was not the world's largest economy.

Now we're moving toward a situation where China's economy could be 2 or 3 times the size of the U.S.'s, and that's a different world.

I think there are a lot of people in the Chinese government who grew up in China when it was still a small economy, and they may feel that China has been called to drink, but they haven't fully realized that China will become the most beautiful boy in the neighborhood. If you're going to be the prettiest boy on the block, then you can really stay calm about all kinds of things, you don't have to worry... Other countries pose no real threat to you, if you are the prettiest boy in the neighborhood.

So I would say, this is an important mindset shift, how would you want the prettiest boy in the block to behave? If you're going to be the prettiest boy in the block right now, shouldn't you behave in line with what you want the prettiest boy in the block to do? I think it's important.

Overall, I think Tesla has a good relationship with China, and I'm not endorsing everything China does, just like no one is going to endorse everything the United States or any other country does.

But overall, I think we're moving towards an interesting, different world. I hope we can remember that we are all human beings and let's try to build the most positive relationships possible and work for the common prosperity of all humanity. ”
