Reference Message Network reported on April 9 according to EFE News reported on April 8, Tesla CEO Elon Musk posted on his social platform X that Trump's trade and manufacturing advisor Peter Navarro is a "moron" and an "idiot", in response to Navarro's criticism of his electric vehicle manufacturing.
In another post he published, Musk even changed Navarro's name to "Peter Moron".
The report said that although the White House tried to downplay it, the discord between Trump's two closest advisors attracted widespread media attention. White House spokesperson Caroline Levett said when asked about this at a press conference: "This is men's business."
Previously, Navarro told NBC News that both the White House and the American people understand that Musk is just a "car maker". This further expanded the "war" between Musk and Navarro into the public arena.
Navarro also added, "But he is not a car manufacturer, he is a car assembler."
Musk responded to the above remarks by saying that Navarro's statement was "obviously wrong", and added that "most of Tesla's cars are made in the United States."
"By any definition, Tesla is the most vertically integrated automaker in America with the highest U.S. content." Musk stated in his post.
It was reported that this is not the first time Navarro has commented on Musk. After Musk announced his support for eliminating all tariffs with the EU, Navarro said that the billionaire "is just protecting his own interests, and any businessman would do the same."
"I think it's important to understand Elon, he is selling cars." Navarro said on Fox News Channel on July 7th.
