Elon Musk is feuding with President Donald Trump’s top trade adviser, and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt seems quite OK with it.
Musk recently has broken with the president regarding tariffs, but he saved his anger for Peter Navarro, who started the feud Monday by referring to Musk as “a car assembler” who wants “the cheap foreign parts” made in places like Japan, China and Taiwan.

Musk went after Navarro on social media on Tuesday, calling him “a moron” who is saying things that are “demonstrably false” in one post and “dumber than a sack of bricks” in another.
Navarro hadn’t responded to Musk’s mockery as of Tuesday afternoon, but the White House press secretary seemed quite thrilled by it when she was asked about the feud by CNN’s Alayna Treene.
“Is the administration and the president at all concerned that this is maybe impacting the public’s understanding of these tariffs? It might be messing with the message on it?” Treene asked Leavitt.
But Leavitt didn’t think so, instead insisting that Musk and Navarro “are obviously two individuals who have very different views on trade and on tariffs.”
She added a condescending tone to Musk and Navarro’s bickering, by stating, “Boys will be boys.”
Leavitt said that the White House “will let their public sparring continue” and told the journalists in attendance that they “should all be very grateful that we have the most transparent administration in history.”
And while many people might see the Musk-Navarro feud as just a bicker battle between two egotistical manchildren, Leavitt claims there was something deeper at work, thanks to her fearless leader.
She said the public fight between Musk and Navarro “speaks to the president’s willingness to hear from all sides” and insisted the president “takes all opinions in mind, and then he makes the best decision based on the best interests of the American public.”
Watch the exchange below.
