According to the American press, American billionaire Elon Musk has called on President Donald Trump to remove additional customs duties. Elon Musk, an American billionaire and advisor to President Donald Trump, made a proposal to Trump to eliminate additional customs duties, but it did not receive a positive response. The news was reported by the American publication The Washington Post. Musk was reminded of his criticism of Peter Navarro, one of Trump’s key advisors on the implementation of additional customs duties over the weekend. The billionaire shared a post on his social media account saying, “Having a doctorate in economics from Harvard is not a good thing, it’s a bad thing.” Over the weekend, Musk also met with Italy’s Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini. Musk expressed his desire to establish a free trade area between the United States and Europe, stating his hope for a zero customs duty situation. The world’s richest person also revealed his wish for both working and travel freedom between the two continents for American and European citizens. Musk emphasized that he has definitely advised the President in this direction. The CEO of Tesla is known for opposing customs duties during Trump’s first term. In 2020, Tesla’s top executives demanded legal action due to customs duties imposed on China. Initially agreeing with this idea, Musk changed his decision due to backlash on social media. According to The Washington Post, many names from the business world who supported Trump during his candidacy are now bewildered by the additional customs duties. The news also stated that lobbying activities have begun to stop Trump’s move on additional customs duties starting from the weekend.
