Peter Navarro Dismisses Rumors of Musk Feud, Being ‘Sidelined’

White House Senior Counsel for Trade and Manufacturing Peter Navarro dismissed rumors of a feud with White House Senior Advisor Elon Musk Sunday on “Meet the Press,” saying “everything is fine.”

Musk said Navarro was a “moron” in a post on X after Navarro called the Tesla CEO a “car assembler” and criticized the tech billionaire’s use of foreign parts. “Meet the Press” host Kristen Welker questioned Navarro about rumors he had been “sidelined” and about the clash with Musk over President Donald Trump’s tariff and trade policy.

“I’ve been called worse. Everything is fine with Elon,” Navarro told Welker while laughing. “And look, Elon is doing a great job with his team with waste, fraud and abuse and that’s a contribution to America and no man doing that kind of thing should be subject to having his cars firebombed by crazies.”
