Elon Musk strikes again! The tech billionaire and co-leader of Donald Trump’s Department of Government Efficiency has lashed out for a second time at the President’s top trade adviser Peter Navarro as tensions over tariffs ramp up in the White House. Now Musk has blasted Navarro as ‘dumber than a sack of bricks’ and ‘truly a moron’ in his latest pop at the government adviser. The gloves are coming off…
The Twitter CEO has been sparring with Navarro since Trump’s Liberation Day tariffs were announced last Wednesday. Musk’s latest attacks come after Navarro suggested in an interview that the billionaire businessman’s support of free trade was due to his car company Tesla requiring a number of foreign-made parts. Hitting back, Musk responded that: ‘Tesla has the most American-made cars. Navarro is truly a moron. What he says here is demonstrably false.’ Ouch.
Musk’s latest jibe follows a rather disparaging tweet about the trade adviser made over the weekend, after a Twitter user lauded Navarro for having been Harvard educated.
