Elon Musk Arrives in Japan for First Visit in Nine Years

Elon Musk has arrived in Japan for his first known visit in nine years.

The chief executive officer of Tesla Inc. and SpaceX posted on X, formerly known as Twitter, at around 8:30 p.m. Thursday local time that he had just arrived in “amazing” Japan.

The last time the world’s richest person visited the island nation was in 2014 to finalize an agreement with Panasonic Holdings Corp. to build a battery factory in the US.

On Friday morning, he posted a short video from TeamLab, an interactive art exhibit in Tokyo.

It’s his second trip to Asia this year after he visited China for the first time in three years. While there, he met with top government officials and paid a late night visit to Tesla’s Shanghai factory.
