Peter Navarro, the Trade Adviser at the White House, dismissed the public spat between President Trump and Elon Musk as inconsequential. He contends that Musk serves merely as a temporary special government employee and that the White House is accustomed to personnel turnover. Navarro minimized the rift between the two, asserting that Musk's criticisms of Trump's domestic policy bill were baseless and directly refuting concerns surrounding the legislation, which was presumed to be the source of their tension.
