According to CNN, Elon Musk broke into an awkward dance at his company's plant, Tesla Gigafactory, in Shanghai, China. The event was held to celebrate the first deliveries of made-in-China electric vehicles by Tesla in 2020. 

In the clip, Mr Musk was seen walking on the stage at the event for employees and Tesla owners. He was seen removing his blazer and bopping around like no one was watching.

Twitter users were quick to react to the now-viral video. "He's silly and super mischievous, I think he's pretty awesome," wrote one user. "He likely can afford dance lessons. It would be a good investment for him," jokingly said another.

Since being shared, the video has garnered more than 576,000 views and over 3,500 likes.

Meanwhile, in 2020, Mr Musk himself also joked about his dance video on Twitter. "At Tesla Giga Shanghai NSFW!!" he wrote while sharing the clip.
