This is where I don't follow Trump's logic. Trump and Musk were claiming that the US will push super high tariffs, that it will make the US rich, and hinting that it will maybe even be possible to suppress the income tax.
Musk to his credit is pretty anti-tariff, and has touted a 0% tariff environment with Europe. It's Navarro and Lutnick that are the devil's whispering into his ear on this policy.
