Elon Musk preempted what will likely be lots of questions about President Trump’s policy on tariffs and the trade war with China, by shifting the conversation. We’re not sure if those analysts will listen though.
“Undoubtedly, I’m going to get a lot of questions about tariffs, and I just want to emphasize that this tariff decision is entirely up to the president of the United States,” Musk said. “I will weigh in with my advice with the President, and he will listen to my advice, but then it’s up to him, of course, to make his decision. I’ve been on the record many times saying that I believe lower tariffs are generally a good idea for prosperity, but this decision is fundamentally up to the elected representative of the people.”
