There might be trouble in paradise for President Donald Trump and Elon Musk, one of the president\u2019s most visible and influential advisers. <\/p>\n

Musk, in recent days, has heavily criticized<\/a><\/span> the Trump administration\u2019s universal and reciprocal tariff plan and has appealed to the president to walk back the levied duties. Two sources told the Washington Post<\/a><\/span> that Musk personally made an attempted tariff-related appeal to Trump \u2014 but has been unsuccessful in changing the president\u2019s mind thus far. <\/p>\n
