No one could say for sure why Elon Musk changed his heart with regards to the US imposing tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles.
He, on the contrary, hailed the Chinese authorities for not imposing tariffs, as the billionaire is in no favor of tariffs.
“Tesla competes quite well in the market in China with no tariffs and no deferential support. I’m in favor of no tariffs,” the billionaire CEO told a conference in Paris via video link.
