Musk made direct appeals to Trump to reverse new tariffs: Washington Post

Tech-billionaire and Tesla CEO Elon Musk made direct yet unsuccessful appeals to U.S. President Donald Trump to reverse tariffs over the past weekend, Washington Post reported on Monday citing two people familiar with the matter.

This exchange marks the highest profile disagreement between the President and Musk, the report said. It follows Trump's unveiling of a 10% baseline tariff on all imports to the U.S. along with higher duties on dozens of other countries.

The White House and Musk did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment.
