Tesla and Space X owner Alan Musk sent a shocking message to US President Donald Trump on tariff policy. Musk shared a video of Nobel Prize winner Milton Freedman on the social media platform X and gave the message of free trade in gestures to Trump.
What is the whole matter?
According to the US media report, Allen Musk is no longer happy with Donald Trump’s tariff policy and he is privately appealed to him to back down on the trump tariff policy. Perhaps this is the reason why Alan Musk has shared a video of Freedman on his X handle, in which he is giving the message of free trade.
What’s in the video?
In the video of Nobel Prize winner Milton Freedman, the importance of free trade is explained by an example of a pencil. His argument was that the free market not only increases production capacity, but also promotes world peace.

Let me tell you, Milton Freedman, who is considered the father of monetaryism, gave his views in support of government intervention and support of free market. Freedman, who won the Nobel Prize for Economics in 1976, believed that controlling money supply is the best way to stop inflation. By sharing his video, he is clearly indicating Musk that he does not agree with Trump’s tariff policy at the moment.
The effect of tariff on the musk
Trump’s tariff policy is expected to have a direct impact on Tesla. The US has imposed 34 per cent tariffs on China, 26 per cent on India and 29 per cent on Pakistan. In response to this, other countries have also increased duty on American imports, which may affect the demand for Tesla cars abroad.
Analysts believe that this move of Musk presents a major challenge for the Trump government. On the one hand, while Trump is adamant on putting tariffs to promote American manufacturing, on the other hand his prominent supporters are now seen in the mood to not support these policies.
Can a new debate start on the tariff policy?
This tariff war has also affected the global markets. The US stock market has recorded a huge decline and millions of millions of dollars of investors have been drowned. Due to this uncertainty spread in the markets, there is a possibility of further ups and downs in the coming days. Experts believe that this move of Musk can give a new direction to the debate on American trade policy. However, it will be politically difficult for Trump to retreat from his tariff policy.
