Elon Musk's zero-tariff proposal with Europe is a sign of weakness and fear, German economy minister says
Germany's finance minister said Elon Musk's call for zero tariffs was "ridiculous" and motivated by the crumbling stock market.
Summary
Germany’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck criticized Elon Musk’s proposal for zero tariffs between the US and Europe, calling it a “sign of weakness” driven by fear of economic fallout.
Habeck said Musk should instead pressure Trump to lift the newly imposed tariffs, including those targeting the European Union.
Musk’s call for zero tariffs comes amid market chaos after Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, which included a 20% rate on the EU. The S&P 500 plunged 10% and the Nasdaq 100 entered a bear market.
The EU prepared retaliatory measures, while China and Canada vowed to respond. Analysts warned of rising recession risks amid escalating global trade tensions.

Melon is trying to protect Tesla but the fun part is it's too late.
Please don't insult delicious Melons like that.
What did Rockmelon or tasty Honey Dew Melon do to be compared to 'ol musky?
You can't spell melon without Elon, as the saying goes.
:(
Petition to change the fruit descriptor 'Melon' to 'Melo' - the 'n' is wrong anyway since the root latin is 'Melopepo'
Rockmelo
Watermelo
Honey Dew Melo, etc.
That would quickly devolve into a lazy "Melah"
Watamelah
Potayto Potatah
Tomayto Tomahta
Watermellow Watermelah
Let's Call The Whole Thing Off.
