Peter Navarro, when asked about the conflict with Elon Musk on Sunday in an interview in NBC, said that “Everything is fine and this is not a problem,” and he described the relationship with the billionaire as “great”.
– Even if he called you a “moron” and “stupid than a bag of bricks”? A journalist asked.
“I was called worse in my life,” Navarro replied.
He then added: “He (Elon Musk) does a great job with his team in terms of waste, fraud and abuse.”
Navarro also referred to loud actions that hit Muska's policy, in which, for example, Tesle was set on fire. – It's a huge contribution to America and No man who does such things should be exposed to setting on cars by madmen – summed up Trump's adviser.
Yes, Navarro pissed Musk
Elon Musk's sharp reaction to the words of Peter Navarro appeared after Trump's advisor stated that Musk “is not a producer, but a car monter”, Arguing that Tesla is largely based on foreign supply chains, including batteries from Japan and China. “What we want … are tires produced in the acron [Ohio]gearboxes in Indianapolis and Flint engines [Michigan]”, he said.
Musk reacted sharply – He called Navarro a “fool” and described his words as “lies”. He added that “Tesla has the most American cars, and Navarro is stupid than a bag of bricks.”
Billionaire, wanting to prove his thesis, sent to industry index, which classifies the models of Tesla Y, 3, X and S as the four most American vehicles based on the location of the assembly, the content of the parts, the origin of the engine, the origin of the gearbox and the workforce in the USA.
