The owner of Tesla, Elon Musk, called on Tuesday “fool” and “auction fool” to Peter Navarro, trade advisor and manufactures of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, in an X post, before the criticisms of this about the manufacture of the magnate’s electric cars.
In another separate post, he changed his name to “Peter Retardo” (delayed).
The open war between Musk and Navarro continues after, in statements to NBC News, Navarro pointed out that in the White House and in the American population they understand that Elon Musk is “a car manufacturer.”
“But he is not a car manufacturer. He is a car assembler,” added the advisor in statements for NBC News, in which he stressed that the components of his cars come from different parts of the world such as China, Taiwan or Japan.
Navarro insisted that, although Musk wants “the components (mechanics) cheap”, the government, on the contrary, aspires that cars are manufactured entirely in the United States, citing the country’s economy and its national security.

It is not the first comment that Navarro makes about Musk
In response to a video where these statements were collected, Musk said that what Navarro says is “demonstrably false” and added that “Tesla has most cars made in the United States.”
“According to any definition, Tesla is the most vertically integrated car manufacturer in the United States, with the highest percentage of American content,” he insisted on another publication within the same thread in X.
“Navarro should ask the false expert he invented, Ron Vara,” he concluded.
It is not the first comment that Navarro makes about Musk since, after the tycoon declared that he is in favor of eliminating all tariffs with the European Union (EU), the advisor indicated that the billionaire “simply protects his own interests, as any businessman would.”
“What I think is important to understand about Elon is to sell vehicles. That’s what Navarro said on Monday during an interview with the Fox News chain.
