Musk Calls Trump’s Trade Adviser a ‘Moron’
Elon Musk, one of President Trump’s top advisers, continued his spat with Peter Navarro, Trump’s top adviser on trade policy, saying in a social media post that Navarro “is truly a moron.”
Musk’s retort came after Navarro said in a television interview on Monday that Musk–the chief executive of Tesla, one of the world’s largest makers of electric vehicles–is a “car assembler.” Navarro also said that the component parts of Musk’s vehicles are made overseas. “Tesla has the most American-made cars. Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks,” Musk responded on Tuesday. In a separate social-media post, he called Navarro “Peter Retarrdo.”
