What happened between Elon and Trump considering tariffs ?

ELON MUSK: I hope that with the tariffs, the United States and Europe move to a zero tariff situation, effectively creating a free trade zone between Europe and North America
I want to know I you think Elon got thrown out of the presidents inner circle because he disagrees with Vance and Trump on the tariff strategy? Or did he get thrown out first (due to DOGE being ineffective or something personal or whatever) and is now using his public platform to argue against the strategy in retaliation?

I think Elon is feeling the pressure of the attacks on Tesla and the cratering of the stock price.

I think everything is noise, Elon is firmly aligned with Trump.
They know that they fight against the internal globalism of the United States and the rise of the other nations such as China or Russia, they must be united in a single goal.

Not so sure about that...
Today he's posting Milton Friedman videos about free trade...
Sure seems like he's starting to break ranks....

Do you think it would be the benefit to cut relationships with Trump? At the end of the day they only act in favor of their goals.

Hasn’t been in his favor so far to align with Trump, not by a long shot. Countries are specifically targeting Tesla as part of their retaliatory tariff plans.
At the end of the day Elon is a first principles thinker

Was it? Really? Nonetheless there were just days between him leaving doge and him speaking out against policy. Maybe you're right, maybe it's just a coincidence.

What you're saying doesn't appear to be correct information:
Lefty media worked themselves into a lather over Elon Musk’s imminent departure from the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) — but his tenure was always meant to be temporary. Musk — DOGE’s lodestar and President Trump’s right-hand man — is in fact expected to step back from the administration at the end of next month, two sources close to the White House tell The Post. But his last day was a fait accompli from the start of the administration, per federal regulations which mandate special government employees (SGEs) can only remain at their post for 130 consecutive days. link
i looked at many different headlines suggesting a musk exit from doge, and all of them are saying "plans to leave"
