‘I had to sleep in the car’: unshaven Elon Musk jets in to meet Macron after a night of clubbing
A dishevelled Elon Musk joked that he had slept “in the car” before a meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, hours after the billionaire was seen partying in Mexico and Los Angeles.
Mr Musk met President Macron at the Elysee Palace on Monday as part of the French leader’s efforts to attract more investment to his country.
Mr Musk said he hoped Tesla would make a “significant investment” in France in future after the meeting, according to local reports.
The Tesla chief, who usually dresses in jeans and t-shirt, donned a suit for the 45-minute meeting with the French President but was unshaven. Mr Musk was caught on camera telling Mr Macron he had to “sleep in the car”.
The billionaire had been seen hours earlier clubbing in the luxury resort of Cabo San Lucas in Mexico as he attended a dance music festival.
Mr Musk was seen dancing and making heart gestures to the crowd during a performance by Australian dance group Rufus du Sol at the Sundream festival in the early hours of Sunday morning.
The 51-year-old, who flew into Cabo from Los Angeles, was also pictured at a trance music event hosted by Bosnian-German DJ Solomun in LA's Exposition Park on Saturday night.
Flight records for Mr Musk’s $70m Gulfstream jet show he landed in Cabo on Saturday before leaving the following morning to fly to Paris, where he arrived on Monday morning.
Despite Mr Musk’s appearance, the meeting with Macron will be viewed as a coup for the President. The French leader has suffered a slump in popularity since forcing through plans to raise France’s retirement age. The policy has sparked months of protests and strikes.
Mr Macron is hoping Mr Musk’s visit can divert attention away from the controversy and towards his pro-business reform drive, which includes promoting greener initiatives such as electric vehicles.
In a tweet following the meeting, the French President said the pair had discussed the attractiveness of France, progress in the energy and electric vehicles sectors, and digital regulation.

ReutersFair access to proper housing can boost economic growth - report
Providing equitable access to appropriate housing in slums and other informal settlements could massively increase economic growth and boost life expectancy, a report to be published on Tuesday by home-building charity Habitat for Humanity shows. Proper housing could increase economic growth by up to 10.5%, while life expectancy could go up by 2.4 years on average, the report said. "Our findings show massive benefits to people’s health, education and income when you make sure they live in suitable housing conditions, have access to basic services like running water and sewage systems, and are free from the threat of eviction or harassment," Alexandre Apsan Frediani, a researcher at the International Institute for Environment and Development, and one of the authors of the report, said in a statement.
