Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, has publicly encountered Peter Navarre, head of President Donald Trump’s business advisor, over the administration policy. The dispute escalated when Musk described Navarra as “truly Moron” and “stupid than the bags of bricks” according to Navarr’s notes, undermined by Musk’s business model.
Elon Musk, the key assistant Donald Trump and the Chief of DOGE, signaled the opposition to Trump’s tariffs and hit Tesla’s CEO after Navarro described it as “not car manufacturers” but “automotive fitter”.
Peter Navarro, the best business advisor of President Donald Trump, rejected the technology billionaire Elon Musk on Monday’s “zero tariffs” between the United States and Europe and described the CEO of Tesla as “automotive fitter” dependent on parts from other countries.
Peter Navarro, widely perceived as an architect of tariffs Donald Trump, said CNBC that Elon Musk had done a good job with his work to streamline the US government, but comments on Tesla’s CEO were surprising due to his “person’s person”.
“When it comes to tariffs and trade, we all understand in the White House – and American people understand – that Elon is a car manufacturer, but is not a car manufacturer. He is an automobile fitter,” Navarro said, adding that many parts of Tesla came from Japan, China and Taiwan. “He’s a car from the car. That’s what he does and wants cheap foreign parts.”
Elon Musk, who spoke at the Congress of the League Party in Italy, faced promoting the ideas of free trade zone in the US-EU to completely eliminate tariffs. His comments came only a few days after Donald Trump announced the hefty mutual tariffs aimed at nearly 60 countries.
The dispute was intensified at the weekend when Elon Musk took his social media platform to respond to Peter Navarara’s economic data for the time of defending economic data.
Elon Musk refused Navarro’s Harvard PhD in economics as a responsibility rather than as an asset, suggesting that this has led to arrogance over practical knowledge. Navarro by the accusation of Elon Musk for preferring cheap foreign parts for Tesla vehicles over American production.
Meanwhile, the billionaire fund manager Bill Ackman, who supported the escape of Donald Trump for the President, wondered in the benefit of Washington to hit the tariffs to avert the “main global economic disturbance”.
While tariffs are an essential tool for the elimination of “unfair business practices” partners, their implementation, without agreeing agreements on agreements, will cause “unnecessary damage”, he said on Tuesday in the social media platform.
Pause 30, 60 or 90 days prevents “the main global economic disruption that will damage the most vulnerable companies and citizens of our country,” Ackman added.
