- Elon Musk publicly clashed with Trump trade advisor Peter Navarro over the administration’s aggressive tariff policy, calling him “dumber than a sack of bricks” and backing up his criticism with data showing Tesla’s American manufacturing credentials. The White House downplayed the dispute, framing it as a sign of healthy internal debate—even as market analysts warn such infighting fuels economic uncertainty.
It seems President Trump is willing to let two of his top advisors publicly spat over his controversial tariff policy, even if it means adding further chaos to an already volatile market.
