- Elon Musk and President Trump are seemingly clashing over Trump's aggressive tariff policies, which Musk opposes because of their harmful impact on U.S. trade relations and potentially his car company, Tesla. Despite Musk's direct appeals and public support for zero tariffs between the U.S. and the EU, for example, Trump has continued to escalate trade barriers.
It seems tariffs may be the issue on which President Trump and his major donor and advisor, Elon Musk, stand on opposite sides of the debate.
