Elon Musk recently publicly criticized Trump's heavy tariff plan, warning that it could trigger an economic recession by the end of 2025. Looking back, the GDP of the United States showed a contraction of -0.2% in the first quarter of 2025, making this warning not unfounded. Trump once attracted voters with 'America First,' but high tariffs will undoubtedly raise corporate costs and consumer prices, thereby suppressing consumption and investment. Although Musk had supported Trump in the past, he spoke frankly at a critical moment, indicating that market concerns about trade barriers are deepening. Economic development requires sound policies and multilateral cooperation, rather than simple tariff confrontations.
