Public Feud Erupts Between Musk, Navarro Over Tariffs

A public feud has erupted between Elon Musk and Peter Navarro, President Trump's trade adviser, centered around recent tariff announcements that have caused market turmoil. Navarro criticized Musk's Tesla operations, claiming they rely heavily on foreign parts, to which Musk retorted, labeling Navarro as a 'moron' and asserting that Tesla is the most American-made car manufacturer. Former Trump staffer Alyssa Farah Griffin revealed that Navarro was often excluded from key economic meetings due to his lack of understanding and poor ideas, further complicating the narrative around the tariffs. Critics, including wealthy Republican donors, have expressed concern over the tariffs' economic impact, warning of potential inflation and recession. Trump has defended the tariffs, urging his critics to remain strong in their support. The public disagreements highlight the growing divide within the Trump administration regarding trade policy and its implications for the economy.
