Elon Musk recently proposed a zero tariff scenario between the U.S. and Europe, pushing for a free trade zone and expressing criticism of Trump’s tariff policies. In response, Trump’s trade advisor, Peter Navarro, argued that Musk 'doesn't understand' trade mechanics and accused him of acting out of self-interest. This public dispute arises amid concerns over Trump's sweeping tariffs that could instigate a trade war. Musk's call for zero tariffs aligns with his business interests, as Tesla relies on global supply chains, while Navarro emphasized the need for tariffs to combat foreign trade cheating.
