'It's okay, was called worse': Trump assistant Peter Navarro responds to Elon Musk who calls him 'Moron' | Today news

Donald Trump trade adviser Peter Navarro has rubbed off the insults of Elon Musk after a public splash across global rates and denies any dip in their relationship as the two officials in the US government. “It’s not a problem. All is well, Elon Musk and I are great,” Peter Navarro said. Elon Musk, the billionaire Tesla CEO and Doge Baron – who was appointed to reduce federal jobs and reduce the workforce – called Peter Navarro a “moron” earlier this month after the trade advisor rejected his push to “Nultarial” between the US and Europe. Navarro also called Elon Musk a ‘car meeting’ that depends on imported auto parts. Despite being placed on the insults by the media, Peter Navarro said it didn’t make it much known, except that it wasn’t a problem for him. “Even though he calls you a ‘moron’ and ‘dumber as a bag of bricks? ” Asked the media. “I was called worse.” “Everything is fine with Elon. And look, Elon does a very good job with his team with wastage, fraud and abuse. It is a tremendous contribution to America, and no one who does the kind of things must be subject to his cars that are crazy, “he said, referring to the vandalism against Tesla infrastructures and offices in response to right-wing activism. Elon Musk named Peter Navarro as ‘dumber than a sack of bricks’ and a ‘moron’ – adding that the previous term was in fact an insult to bricks – after Trump’s trade interested in an interview claimed that a large percentage of Tesla and Cybertrucks in America were compiled from parts made in other countries. Trump has appointed Musk, the richest person in the world, to reduce US government spending and reduce federal workforce. There is an increasing discomfort all over the country over Musk’s blunt approach to mass dismissal of the government’s workforce. Nearly 200,000 employees were fired, earmarked for termination or accepted buyout. White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt delayed the public collision as a disagreement over rates this week, saying: “Boys will be boys.” (With agency input) first published: 14 Apr 2025, 09:16 AM IST
