Tesla CEO Elon Musk, head of the world's largest EV manufacturer, doesn't want Washington's help in the auto market. Last week, the Biden administration announced it will hike tariffs on Chinese EVs to 100%, due to alleged unfair policies on the part of Beijing and a need to protect U.S. jobs.
On Thursday, Musk said he disapproved of the new U.S. tariffs. "Neither Tesla nor I asked for these tariffs. In fact, I was surprised when they were announced," he told a technology conference in Paris via video link.
