Elon Musk's zero-tariff proposal with Europe is a sign of weakness and fear, German economy minister says
-
Summary
Germany’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck criticized Elon Musk’s proposal for zero tariffs between the US and Europe, calling it a “sign of weakness” driven by fear of economic fallout.
Habeck said Musk should instead pressure Trump to lift the newly imposed tariffs, including those targeting the European Union.
Musk’s call for zero tariffs comes amid market chaos after Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, which included a 20% rate on the EU. The S&P 500 plunged 10% and the Nasdaq 100 entered a bear market.
The EU prepared retaliatory measures, while China and Canada vowed to respond. Analysts warned of rising recession risks amid escalating global trade tensions.

Believe it or not, some people think that the press’s job is to tell the truth about what’s going on, and people can deal with it however they deal with it.

I also read that EU is offering US a deal with ... drum roll ... zero tariffs. I'm sure that's not weakness, right? Right?

Trumps plan is disruption, chaos and damage.
Or just the largest scale market manipulation ever and he bought his self made dip. Then lift tarrifs again. Profit.
Though more likely hes either a saboteur or just utterly incompetent.

Someone who uses their own child as a human shield is "weak and afraid".

It's a sign of greed. Musk wants to sell his Teslas and doesn't care about stepping all over Trump's "plans" for it.
I can't wait to see his reaction to that.

Of course it is. I hope that's not true. Where did you read this?

The minister is also a Conservative MAGA fan. This is the CDP.
The far right in SA/NZ/Australia are pro-EU. That's why they were so confused about Brexit.
Of course they would be pro-Europe, how could they be anything else ?

There was no need for tariffs in the first place. This was a unilateral trade war based on absolute stupidity on Donnie's part and the desire to crash the markets so the rich can buy up whatever they like at a discount.

This is commonly forgotten anymore.

I would stay with absolute stupidity until proven there are hidden more complex interests there. But sure, it's not impossible.
