Peter Navarro Hits Back at Elon Musk Criticizing Him Over Tariffs: ‘He’s a Car Assembler’

EXCERPT:

NAVARRO: “Let me finish here. I’m just about to tell you. Look, Elon Musk and his DOGE team is making a contribution to America in terms of waste, fraud and abuse. And that’s a very good thing for this country and the American people. When it comes to tariffs and trade, we all understand in the White House and the American people understand that Elon’s a car manufacturer, but he’s not a car manufacturer. He’s a car assembler, in many cases. If you go to his Texas plant, a good part of the engines that he gets, which in the EV case is the batteries, come from Japan and come from China, the electronics come from Taiwan, the tires come — what we want, and the difference is in our thinking and Elon’s on this, is that we want the tires made in Akron. We want the transmissions made in Indianapolis. We want the engines made in Flint and Saginaw. And we want the cars manufactured here.”
