White House has officially replied to Elon Musk's 'very angry' comments on President Donald Trump's top economic adviser Peter Navarro. And from the looks of it, the Oval office is not upset. Elon Musk and Peter Navarro have been squabbling publicly since the past few days. Until last week, Elon Musk has been making veiled attacks on Navarro today the fight came out in complete public view. As in a post on Twitter, Elon Musk called Navarro a "Moron' and more ...
Responding to Elon Musk's public outburst against Navarro, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt said, "Look, these are obviously two individuals who have very different views on trade and on tariffs." She went on to add, "Boys will be boys, and we will let their public sparring continue."

Leavitt termed the clash as a sign of the Trump administration’s openness, suggesting it reflected Trump’s willingness to entertain a range of perspectives. "The public nature of the spat is evidence of the transparency within the administration," she said.

Tesla CEO Elon Musk sharply criticized Trump administration trade advisor Peter Navarro over comments made during a CNBC interview. Navarro, a key figure behind President Donald Trump’s expansive tariff policies, brushed off Musk’s advocacy for "zero tariffs" between the United States and Europe. Dismissing the billionaire as a mere "car assembler" dependent on imported components, Navarro argued for shifting parts production to American soil.

Musk fired back on X, calling Navarro’s remarks "demonstrably false" and labeling him "dumber than a sack of bricks." In a post responding to a clip of the interview, Musk defended Tesla’s record, asserting, "Tesla has the most American-made cars." The sharp rebuke underscored a growing rift between the tech mogul and Navarro, whose tariff-heavy approach has been credited with shaping Trump’s economic agenda.
Navarro’s policy influence dates back to Trump’s first term, where he championed tariffs as a tool to revitalize U.S. manufacturing and bolster national security. However, the strategy has drawn mixed reactions, unsettling markets and disrupting global supply chains while fueling debates over its long-term efficacy.
