Elon Musk praises China’s economic progress on Communist Party anniversary

Elon Musk heaped praise on China’s economic development late Wednesday night as the Communist Party celebrated its 100th anniversary in power.

Musk lauded the country’s development in response to a tweet from state-media outlet Xinhua News that included a quote from Chinese President and Communist Party Chairman Xi Jinping’s speech celebrating the ruling party’s centenary. “China has realized the first centenary goal — building a moderately prosperous society in all respects,” the state-run outlet quoted Xi as saying.
