Elon Musk criticizes U.S. tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, arguing they hinder EV market growth and innovation. At a Paris conference, Musk emphasized that tariffs raise costs, limit consumer choice, and stifle technological advancements. He advocates for free trade to foster a competitive EV market, benefiting consumers and the environment. Musk's stance, if adopted, could lead to lower EV prices and increased competition, but also poses risks for U.S.-focused manufacturers and international trade relations.
