Musk asks Trump to reverse tariffs

# Billionaire Elon Musk has reportedly asked Donald Trump to reverse his tariffs. Citing two sources, the Washington Post says the exchange marks the highest profile disagreement between the Tesla CEO and US president. Musk’s pleas followed Trump’s unveiling of a 10-percent baseline tariff on all imports to the US and higher duties on dozens of other countries last week. Musk heads the US Department of Government Efficiency and previously called for zero tariffs between the US and Europe. He indicated the impact of car tariffs on Tesla is “significant”.
