The American press reported that American billionaire Elon Musk has called on President Donald Trump to remove additional customs tariffs. The American billionaire and advisor to President Donald Trump, Elon Musk, recommended Trump to remove additional customs tariffs. However, his suggestion did not receive a positive response. The news was published in the American media outlet The Washington Post. Musk was reminded of targeting Peter Navarro, one of Trump’s key advisors, in implementing additional customs tariffs over the weekend. The American billionaire had shared on his social media account, “Getting a doctorate in economics from Harvard is not good, it’s a bad thing.” Musk also met with Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini over the weekend. Musk expressed his desire to see a free trade zone between the United States and Europe, and hoped for a zero customs tax situation. The world’s richest person also stated that he wants both American and European citizens to have freedom to work and travel between the two continents. Musk used the phrase, “I definitely advised the President in this direction.” The CEO of Tesla is known for being against customs tariffs during Trump’s first term. In 2020, Tesla’s top executives had requested legal action to be taken against customs tariffs imposed on China. Although Musk initially agreed with this idea, he changed his decision due to reactions on social media. According to The Washington Post, many figures from the business world who supported Trump’s campaign during his candidacy are now shocked by the additional customs tariffs. The news report also mentioned that lobbying activities have begun over the weekend to stop Trump’s move of adding extra customs tariffs.
