Musk: Will continue to push for lower tariffs, but the final decision depends on Trump

Elon Musk, Tesla's chief executive, said on the company's earnings call that he would continue to advocate for lower tariffs, but that the decision on tariffs was entirely up to President Trump. "I will give my advice to the president, and the president will listen to me, but ultimately it's up to him," Mr. Musk said. "I've said publicly many times that I think lower tariffs are generally good for prosperity, but that decision is ultimately up to the president-elect, who represents the people. So I will continue to advocate for lower tariffs, not higher tariffs, but that's all I can do."
