Musk-Navarro Feud Over Tariffs Escalates

Elon Musk and Peter Navarro, a senior trade adviser under President Trump, are embroiled in a public feud over the administration's tariff policies. Musk, who opposes the tariffs, derided Navarro as 'dumber than a sack of bricks' on social media, while Navarro criticized Tesla's reliance on foreign-made components. The White House, through Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt, downplayed the conflict as a 'boys will be boys' situation, highlighting the administration's transparency and openness to diverse opinions. This spat reflects deeper tensions within Trump's inner circle regarding economic strategies. Meanwhile, Musk has hinted at broader conspiracies against Tesla, suggesting investigations into possible financers of protests against the company. Despite the personal nature of the dispute, both figures remain significant players within the Trump administration's economic landscape.
