Musk vs. Trump? Tariff chaos hits the markets! ⚔️
U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent tried to convince Trump to scrap the tariffs — Trump said no. ❌
Surprise twist: Elon Musk joined the push, despite being a longtime critic of Bessent.
Kevin Hassett, ex-head of the National Economic Council, backed them too.
Team Trump is split:
Navarro & Miller — pro-tariffs
Musk, Bessent & Hassett — anti-tariffs ⚖️
Markets react:
📉 Treasuries are being sold off
📈 Yields spike to 5%
⚠️ Risk of recession & debt spiral — Greece style
Tariffs are no longer a policy tool — they’re a political time bomb. 💣
