Musk Blasts Trump’s Tariff Architect Amidst Billions in Losses
Tesla CEO Elon Musk publicly criticized Peter Navarro, a Trump trade advisor, over the president’s tariff policy, which significantly impacted Musk’s personal wealth and the U.S. stock market. Musk’s criticism, expressed on X, included questioning Navarro’s economic expertise and Harvard education. This dispute follows Navarro’s recent jail sentence for contempt of Congress and comes amidst broader public backlash against Musk’s actions as head of the Department of Government Efficiency. Tesla has experienced a decline in sales and stock price, partly attributed to the controversy surrounding Musk’s role in the administration. News also indicates an impending departure of Musk from his White House duties.
