Elon Musk has publicly disagreed with Peter Navarro regarding tariffs and trade policy, particularly in light of recent tariff impositions by Trump. Musk criticized Navarro's academic background and suggested that a PhD from Harvard may lead to issues of ego and overvaluation of intellect. Navarro defended his position by indicating that Musk was acting out of self-interest as a car manufacturer, but claimed there are no personal rifts between them.
A PhD in Econ from Harvard is a bad thing, not a good thing," Musk said of Navarro's academic qualifications in an X post.
When he's in his DOGE lane, he's great. But we understand what's going on here. We just have to understand. Elon sells cars, Navarro said.
