Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy , hedge fund manager Bill Ackman and even Elon Musk are adding their voices to a number of congressional Republicans who have weighed in against the tariffs set to take effect on Wednesday .

“I think that the tariff plan was rolled out is about as bad a rollout as you could do,” conservative commentator Shapiro says.

White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said that Musk “doesn’t understand” the situation.

Musk called Navarro “truly a moron” and “dumber than a sack of bricks” Musk has said tariffs would drive up costs for Tesla , his electric automaker.
