Summary
Germany’s Economy Minister Robert Habeck criticized Elon Musk’s proposal for zero tariffs between the US and Europe, calling it a “sign of weakness” driven by fear of economic fallout.
Habeck said Musk should instead pressure Trump to lift the newly imposed tariffs, including those targeting the European Union.
Musk’s call for zero tariffs comes amid market chaos after Trump’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, which included a 20% rate on the EU. The S&P 500 plunged 10% and the Nasdaq 100 entered a bear market.
The EU prepared retaliatory measures, while China and Canada vowed to respond. Analysts warned of rising recession risks amid escalating global trade tensions.
Melon is trying to protect Tesla but the fun part is it’s too late.
Please don’t insult delicious Melons like that.
What did Rockmelon or tasty Honey Dew Melon do to be compared to 'ol musky?
You can’t spell melon without Elon, as the saying goes.
:(
Petition to change the fruit descriptor ‘Melon’ to ‘Melo’ - the ‘n’ is wrong anyway since the root latin is ‘Melopepo’
Rockmelo
Watermelo
Honey Dew Melo, etc.
That would quickly devolve into a lazy “Melah”

Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off.
Not just Tesla, spaceX and starlink too. EU govs are looking for alternatives
Protect something he repeatedly smashed with his own nazi stunts. Good luck to him.
It’s a sign of greed. Musk wants to sell his Teslas and doesn’t care about stepping all over Trump’s “plans” for it.
I can’t wait to see his reaction to that.
Two narcissists in the same room. They’re already stepping on each other.
Elon is baby hitler.
Mustash man was good at PoE tho /s
As we used to sing about South Africa We gotta keep the pressure on. We gotta keep the pressure on.
My god, don’t call someone with a fragile ego “weak and afraid” if you want to negotiate with them ffs. Make them think they’re doing the right thing!
The minister is also a Conservative MAGA fan. This is the CDP.
The far right in SA/NZ/Australia are pro-EU. That’s why they were so confused about Brexit.
Of course they would be pro-Europe, how could they be anything else ?
