Works in an ideal world but not a world where there is protectionism paired with strategic planning and positioning, driven by artificial inflating and manipulating subventions…

Elon Musk had been relatively silent regarding President Trump's decision on tariffs, but he has now shared his thoughts. He expressed optimism that the United States and Europe will make strides toward completely eliminating trade tariffs in the future.

"I hope that both Europe and the United States will agree, and ideally, in my view, move toward a zero-tariff situation, essentially creating a free trade area between Europe and North America."

Some critics have raised concerns about Elon Musk's potential conflict of interest, given that Tesla is impacted by tariffs while still relying on imports for components needed to manufacture its cars. While this point may hold some validity, it’s important to highlight that Elon has consistently advocated for free trade, a stance he has maintained since 2020.
