Musk makes billions from China. How will that work now?

China's tariffs can run up to 100%.

The new tariff rates – which range from 100% on electric vehicles, to 50% for solar components, to 25% for all other sectors – will take place over the next two years. “China’s using the same playbook it has before to power its own growth at the expense of others,” said Lael Brainard, director of the White House National Economic Council.

And they still want low tariffs from the US.

"Sheinbaum reminded Trump that Mexico is not to blame for the caravans reaching the border."

There is nothing that Mexico can do to stop the caravans, meaning that the threat of tariffs is not causing Mexico to "play fair"?

Of course they can stop the caravans. They just protect their southern border! Which is what they will do.

Elon Musk has a relatively long and very profitable history doing business with China. And he’s likely to want to keep it that way.

Donald Trump and Elon Musk's Relationship Could Break Over China


What an interesting situation. What Trump and Rubio want to do is punish China and Trump has stated he could raise tariffs on Chine as much as 60%,

Musk makes Billions in China and those tariffs would cost HIM big time.

Who or what (money or pride) will win?
Well obviously Musk and Trump are getting along just fine. Tariffs won't affect Musk much, if any, because the billions he makes in China are from Teslas built in China and sold mostly to Chinese in China. So tariffs won't affect that at all.
 
The government will just have to accept some level of hardship as it adjusts to not spending so much money.

Time for the Swamp to go on a diet.

Many of the parts the cars need come from the U.S. Tariffs will raise those costs so he will sell his cars in China at higher prices, meaning less profits

If a trade breaks out tariffs will be the least of musk’s concerns. The Chinese government can deny him permits to sell his cars. Or use regulations to slow production.
