Washington:
Elon Musk on Tuesday described Peter Navaro, a senior business advisor at the White House, in the growing crack on Donald Trump’s tariff policy as “actually a moran” and “a sack of bricks”.
Musk, a prominent colleague of the President, indicated his opposition to the tariff, and Tesla’s CEO described Nawaro as a “car assembler” after describing his electric vehicle company as a “car manufacturer”.
Trump’s new tariff on imports has cried the markets as a possibility of a global recession.
Musk posted his criticism on X under a clip of Navarro, stating that Tesla imported batteries, electronics and tires, and that Musk “wants” cheap foreign parts. “
Musk said that “Tesla has the most American-made cars. Navaro is weaker than a sack of bricks.”
The world’s richest man recently supported a free-trade region between North America and Europe-a desire on obstacles with the major tariffs of Tramp.
The US President has denied any break in his aggressive stance despite the rentive action from China and signs of criticism from within his Republican party.
