Comrade Elon: Musk Opposes Tariffs on Chinese EVs – By Lucas Nolan (Breitbart) / May 24, 2024
Tesla CEO Elon Musk, whose EV company is deeply involved in Communist China, recently expressed his disapproval of the recently announced 100 percent tariff on Chinese-made electric vehicles during the VivaTech conference this week.
CNBC reports that Elon Musk made it clear that neither he nor his company, Tesla, had requested the tariffs imposed on the Communist Chinese. “In fact, I was surprised when they were announced,” Musk stated in response to a question from CNBC’s Karen Tso during the conference’s Q&A session.
The tariffs on Chinese EV imports are designed to protect the U.S. market from an influx of cheap Chinese EVs. The administration believes that Beijing’s subsidies are enabling companies to overproduce affordable clean energy products, such as solar panels and EVs, which exceed domestic demand.
