Peter Navarro denies any tension with Elon Musk after the Tesla CEO publicly called him a “moron,” insisting on Meet the Press that “everything’s fine” between them. The clash stemmed from disagreements over Trump’s tariff strategy, with Musk advocating for zero tariffs while Navarro defended steep duties to boost U.S. manufacturing. Despite the online insults, Navarro praised Musk’s role in the Department of Government Efficiency and maintained that the administration’s temporary pause on tariffs is part of a larger negotiation plan involving multiple countries, though talks with China remain uncertain.
