They released the federal agencies and jobs were gathered, but the expanding tariffs of President Donald Trump are apparently too much for the man of the right hand Elon Musk.

So much so that Musk appealed privately to Trump that he reversed the market management measures in an “attempt to intervention,” said Washington Post on Monday, citing people familiar with the matter.

But Musk’s supposed supplication did not work because Trump continued with the stay in the front of the commercial war, threatening to add 50% tariffs for Chinese products.

Musk has expressed doubts about radical tariffs on his X platform, but pointed his criticisms of Trump’s advisor Peter Navarro, who is behind the strategy.

The post called Musk’s disagreement with the president as his “highest profile disagreement” since Trump appointed the leader of the so -called government efficiency department.

On Monday, Musk gave a somewhat conciliatory tone on the social platform he owns. He shared a publication of a commercial representative of the United States that supported the “historical” tariffs and listed the “unfair” commercial practices of exporters. “Good points,” Musk wrote.

The billionaire definitely also has some skin in the game. Musk has lost about $ 130 billion this year, and some of that is due to the reaction of the rate.

Musk, perhaps the man of Trump's right hand, privately asked Trump to rethink the tariffs, the Washington Post reported.
