Summary

Elon Musk publicly broke with Trump’s new tariff policy, calling for a “zero tariff situation” and a free trade zone between the U.S. and Europe.

Speaking at an event hosted by Italy's Deputy PM Matteo Salvini, Musk also advocated freer movement of workers across the Atlantic.

His comments come days after Trump imposed sweeping tariffs, including 20% on EU goods, prompting a major stock market drop.

Trump defended the move as part of an “economic revolution.” The EU signaled readiness to negotiate but warned of retaliatory measures.
