Musk and a spokesperson for Tesla did not respond to a request for comment ahead of publication.
Musk is one of several US CEOs to visit China in recent months. Earlier this month, the billionaire said growing tensions between China and the US"The Chinese economy and the rest of the global economy are like conjoined twins. It would be like trying to separate conjoined twins. That's the severity of the situation," Musk told CNBC's David Faber, adding that the situation will be"worse" for companies other than Tesla, including Apple.
