Wow, what an ignorant thing to say. Musk is aligned with Trump, who has said REPEATEDLY that his goal is FREE TRADE, and the very fact that he has implemented RECIPROCAL tariffs, by their nature, prove he wants tariffs to go lower or be eliminated.
This is absolutely bizarre. The new tariffs are explicitly aimed at eliminating trade deficits - which is 100% the opposite goal of having no tariffs. Elon went all in to elect a President who is diametrically opposed to the trade policy he wants?
This would be a great outcome. Add Australia, Japan, Korea, Taiwan, etc to the mix, and include free movement of people, too. True American empire.
Honestly, creating a free-trade zone between the US and Europe would be a great move
Obv there is a case for tariffs on specific goods to protect vital for the functioning of a nation things (growing food). But yea generally 0 tariffs is probably good.
final boss of whether TDS of EDS is stronger. will be interesting to see who comes out on top in terms of forced hate
Dude got shellacked and is now moving to moderation. Burnt his entire rep to the ground in the circles that mattered to him outside of “hardcore” Peter theil tech. Going to take a long time to rebuild
This is the end goal of the tarrifs, creating an incentive to lock out China, and make EU choose. Seems connected with the NATO spending increase. I would have thought Russia becoming a Chinese proxy would be enough for them, but it wasn't, and Trump can't really play into that.
Elon is getting the double whammy... These stupid tariffs with Asia and Europe and his involvement with Trump and Doge that is tanking his brand. Poor Elon. We hate you more than Trump according to the polls.
Nah he’s just trying to do damage control and get Europeans to buy Tesla cars again.
No, he hasn’t. Reciprocal tariff. Figure out what the word reciprocal means and you’ll solve the puzzle.
What elon means is also no VAT and taking anything from USA and also free hand to do mostly what he wants. This is not what EU wants.
Somebody tell that fool that Trump doesn't want that. He put tariffs on some countries that have zero tariffs with the US. He needs to leave this admin lest he loses the miniscule credibility he has left (Please , fire this moron!)
