## #YOLO

Just hours before meeting with French President Emmanuel Macron, Elon Musk was spotted dancing the night away in Mexico — which may explain why he seemed so out of it the next day.

As [*TMZ* reported](<https://www.tmz.com/2023/05/15/elon-musk-dancing-sundream-baja-cabo-san-lucas-rufus-du-sol/>), the multi-hyphenate billionaire was seen partying it up at the Sundream Baja festival in Cabo San Lucas. Naturally, tons of videos got posted to social media of his dancefloor antics, with observers commenting on his "[white boy dance moves](<https://twitter.com/drewoden/status/1658086657185271810?s=61&t=lXUL0IIjvREGJ3TTE_3O6g>)."

As [*The Independent* notes](<https://www.telegraph.co.uk/business/2023/05/15/sleep-car-unshaven-elon-musk-jets-macron-clubbing/?utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Echobox&utm_source=Twitter#Echobox=1684168338>), the videos were shot just hours before Musk met up with Macron in Paris, where he appeared disheveled and unshaven after partying.

"I had to sleep in the car," the Twitter, Tesla, and SpaceX owner reportedly told the French president when they met at Versailles, of all places.

## Jetty Setty Go

This latest "Choose France" summit was apparently requested by Macron as he attempts to get Musk and other entrepreneurs to invest in France and bring their business to the European nation, [*Reuters* reported](<https://www.reuters.com/markets/europe/macron-eyes-record-13-bln-euros-investments-versailles-summit-2023-05-14/>).

"We talked about the attractiveness of France and the significant progress in the electric vehicle and energy sectors," [Macron said in a tweet](<https://twitter.com/EmmanuelMacron/status/1658081373658177539>) about the meeting. "We also talked about digital regulation."

"We have so much to do together," the French president added in English, though it's unclear whether he meant clubbing or not.

These latest videos of Musk breaking it down on the dancefloor are, of course, not the first time he's been filmed awkwardly dancing.

In January 2020, he was seen [busting a move at a Chinese Tesla factory](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/watch-elon-musk-dance-nsfw-chinese-tesla-factory>) and [decided to do so again](<https://futurism.com/the-byte/elon-musk-dance-moves-gigafactory>) at the grand opening of the electric vehicle company's Berlin Gigafactory last year, too.

Shots of him getting down in the club, however, seem to be new — and to corroborate that he may have been just as hungover as he looked in that Macron meeting.

## Author
At Futurism, I've often been drawn to unpacking the narratives that underlie technological, scientific and medical progress, with a special interest in areas of conflict and ambiguity that end up setting agendas and steering the fates of both elites and the hoi polloi. I'm a committed generalist, but I often find myself returning to work involving NASA and the private space sector, the effects of AI on media and society, and the mechanics of the pharmaceutical industry, with a specific focus on the spread of GLP-1 drugs like Ozempic and Wegovy. Prior to Futurism, I worked for publications ranging from Media Matters and Truthdig to Raw Story and Bustle. I'm also the author of "Myspace Scene Queens," a 2024 title in Instar Books' acclaimed "Remember the Internet" series. My work at Futurism has been cited by outlets including the New Yorker, Slate, Nieman Lab, the Verge, the MIT Technology Review, the Sunday Times, and the Daily Beast. I grew up in North Carolina, attended the University of North Carolina at Asheville, and now live in Brooklyn, New York. In my free time, I'm an avid reader and music fan; you can probably find me at a local poetry reading, concert, underground rave, or DJ set. I'm the proud parent of an ineffable orange cat named Mee-Mow.
