Elon Musk's younger brother, Kimbal Musk, criticized Trump’s tariffs on X, calling them a permanent tax on the American consumer, according to CNBC. Kimbal argued tariffs keep prices high even if they bring jobs back, saying that the U.S. is simply "not good at making things." Kimbal Musk is a Tesla board member, restaurant owner, and entrepreneur with past roles at SpaceX and Chipotle, and investments in food and tech startups. Kimbal Musk donated to Libertarian groups and Unite America PAC in 2024, contrasting with his brother Elon’s major financial support for Trump.
