Elon Musk calls Trump advisor Peter Navarro 'truly a moron' and 'dumber than a sack of bricks'

Elon Musk escalated his own sort of trade war Tuesday morning — not against another country, but against President Donald Trump's top trade advisor, Peter Navarro.

Musk responded to a video of Navarro speaking on CNBC, writing in a post on X that "Navarro is truly a moron."

He followed up by saying: "Navarro is dumber than a sack of bricks."

Less than 20 minutes later, Musk shot out yet another insult, correcting another user's spelling of Navarro's name with a play on the R-word: "*Peter Retarrdo."

Tuesday's posts are the latest in a string of anti-tariff comments from Musk, who said over the weekend that America should establish a "zero-tariff" system with Europe. Musk, who has been heading up Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider. A representative from the White House directed BI to a post on X quoting the press secretary Karoline Leavitt's response to the recent insults.

There once was a time when she was very offended by that.
