Elon Musk took to X to fire off a slew of posts against Peter Navarro, the president’s top trade adviser, with one calling him a “moron.”
Musk’s tirade came Tuesday, a day after Navarro went on CNBC and called Musk a “car assembler,” per Mediaite.
“We all understand in the White House (and the American people understand) that Elon’s a car manufacturer, Navarro said. “But he’s not a car manufacturer — he’s a car assembler, in many cases.”
“If you go to his Texas plant, a good part of the engines that he gets (which in the EV case are the batteries) come from Japan and come from China,” Navarro added. “The electronics come from Taiwan.”
Musk has previously Navarro’s tariff-heavy trade plan.
Musk volleyed back at Navarro by saying he is “truly a moron” on X.
Musk continued with more posts.
In one post, Musk called Navarro “dumber than a sack of bricks.”
In another post, Musk referred to Navarro as “Peter Retarrdo.”
