Musk says Navarro is "dumber than a sack of bricks" [1]

We have crackpot Peter Navarro to thank for the imaginary equation that is the basis for Trump's tariffs. He consulted with his other self, Ron Vara, before coming up with it. Too bad he didn't get a longer sentence for contempt of Congress, but Trump would have just pardoned him anyway.
It started on Saturday when Musk said that Navarro's Harvard degree in economics "is a bad thing, not a good thing."
Navarro said in a Sunday interview on Fox News that Musk was fine "when he's in his own DOGE lane." And that Musk was protecting his own interests, most likely referencing his position with Trump and basically awarding himself government contracts.
Musk was also angry over the tariffs that Navarro has been revealed as helping create.
Navarro was being interviewed on CNBC about Trump's tariff policy and he said he wanted to see more parts be made in the U.S.
Navarro then made the mistake of saying that Musk was "not a car manufacture," but instead a "car assembler."
Musk responded on X with, "Navarro is truly a moron. What he says here is demonstrately false. Tesla has the most American-made cars. Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks."
"By any definition whatsoever, Tesla is the most vertically integrated auto manufacturer in America with the highest percentage of US content. Navarro should ask the fake expert he invented, Ron Vara."
20 minutes later, Musk did another tweet with just "*Peter Retarrdo." I'll let you make your own judgements on that one.
Karoline Leavitt talked about the feud at the Tuesday White House press briefing. "These are obviously two different individuals who have very different ideas on trade and tariffs. Boys will be boys and we will let their public sparring continue."
Like anybody could stop it?
Stay tuned for the next cage fight between Elon Musk and Peter Navarro. Or maybe Ron Vara.
