Although it is probable that Elon Musk had forewarning of the tariff blitz by President Trump, and presumably worked out that every country affected (read that as every country bar Russia) would react and fight back by boycotting US products, he showed great prescience by triggering a world-wide boycott of Tesla products weeks ago.
'I don't know how Jeep and Ford are going to catch up with Elon in terms of lost sales. He sure makes his competitors work,' said a motor industry spokesman today. Some US auto makers are considering paying crowds to torch their cars on the forecourt to help level the playing field. Or just publishing the real fuel costs of running them.
