Elon Musk's Tesla has warned the Trump administration that new retaliatory tariffs could harm US companies, including the EV sector. In a letter to US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer, Tesla urged officials to consider the "downstream impacts" of trade actions, cautioning that tariffs could trigger countermeasures from other countries. Tesla, which has seen declining sales in Europe, highlighted past trade disputes that led to increased tariffs on US exports. Meanwhile, Trump defended Tesla, blaming "Radical Left Lunatics" for boycotts. Despite tensions, Trump purchased a red Tesla Model X this week, calling it "beautiful" as he sat in the driver's seat.
