A 7-year-old Chinese girl named Molly has caught the attention of Tesla CEO Elon Musk after pointing out a bug in the electric car’s touchscreen system. Molly’s mother shared on social media that her daughter is “excited” to have received a response from the famed entrepreneur.
In a video posted online, Molly described in English the issue she encountered with Tesla’s drawing board function. She explained that the feature is occasionally unstable, causing previous drawings to disappear when creating a new one, with no apparent solution.
After the video was shared by netizens on X, the social media platform owned by Musk, the CEO replied with a simple “Sure,” indicating that the issue would be addressed.
Molly’s mother, who uses the handle “Hello Yaoyao” on Weibo, China’s popular social media platform, expressed pride in her daughter’s initiative. She stated that the original intention behind making the video was to encourage Molly to independently tackle problems by communicating and finding solutions.
“She discovered the issue herself, communicated it, and resolved it. This process and outcome are very valuable experiences for her entire life,” her mother wrote.
The exchange has garnered admiration from netizens, who praised Molly’s confidence and problem-solving skills. One commenter noted, “Musk really replied! The little girl’s expression is very clear, and she’s so confident.”
Another user added, “Her English may not be perfect yet, but she speaks fluently. More importantly, she is very confident and bold in expressing herself, which surpasses many people.”
Molly’s interaction with Musk highlights how young individuals are engaging with technology and taking initiative to improve user experiences. Her story has resonated with many, inspiring discussions about education, communication, and the impact of technology on younger generations.
