Elon Musk’s Tesla and SpaceX have strongly opposed the Trump administration’s proposed tariffs, warning that such measures could significantly harm American manufacturers. Tesla has explicitly informed the U.S. Trade Representative that previous tariffs have already increased manufacturing costs, and additional tariffs may trigger international retaliations, placing "U.S. manufacturers at a disadvantage in global markets."
Tesla CEO Elon Musk underscored that these tariffs would negatively impact Tesla itself, noting the consequences would be substantial, posing a noticeable and critical issue for the company.
Musk's public position extends beyond corporate advocacy—it represents a strategic necessity aimed at safeguarding Tesla’s global competitiveness and the complex international supply chains critical to SpaceX. Tesla’s stance reflects growing apprehension, even among Trump administration allies about the economic repercussions of aggressive trade policies.
A source familiar with Tesla’s letter to authorities told the Financial Times,
"[The letter] is a polite way to indicate that the inconsistent tariff strategy is significantly harming Tesla. It remains unsigned because employees fear potential repercussions."
Musk’s advocacy for a "balanced approach" highlights the severe risks that tariff missteps could pose to American leadership in competitive industries such as electric vehicles and aerospace. Such errors could inadvertently provide competitive advantages to rivals in China and Europe.
