Summary

Elon Musk distanced himself from Trump’s tariff policy, criticizing Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick and trade adviser Peter Navarro.

CNBC reported Musk lost over $30bn since the tariffs were announced, amid stock market volatility and falling futures.

That financial hit may explain his sharp jabs at officials defending the policy. Musk advocated for a U.S.–EU “zero tariff” trade zone, diverging from Trump’s approach.

Meanwhile, protests against Musk and Trump escalated, and Musk’s political spending failed to sway key elections.

    I’ve always wanted to put like $20 over there so I could say:

    All my money is tied up in the NICA index

    Like that old Aqua Teen joke.
