Elon Musk Calls Peter Navarro a ‘Moron’ Amid Tesla Stock Decline

Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla, has escalated his public criticism of Peter Navarro, a former top trade adviser to President Donald Trump, calling him a 'moron' and accusing him of being 'dumber than a sack of hammers.' This verbal attack comes as Tesla's stock has experienced a fourth consecutive day of decline, prompting Musk to step up his rhetoric against Navarro, who has been a vocal critic of Tesla and its reliance on Chinese manufacturing.

The feud intensified after Navarro suggested that tariffs on Chinese imports should be increased, a move Musk believes would negatively impact Tesla's operations in China. Musk's comments were reported across multiple news outlets, including NBC News, CNN, CNBC, and The Washington Post, highlighting the ongoing tension between the tech mogul and former Trump administration officials.

Navarro, known for his hardline stance on trade, has not yet responded to Musk's latest insults. The spat between the two has drawn significant attention, not only due to their high profiles but also because of the broader implications for U.S.-China trade relations and the electric vehicle industry.
