Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick used a TV appearance to recommend the public buy shares in Elon Musk's car company, saying: "It's unbelievable that this guy's stock is this cheap. It'll never be this cheap again.

Lutnick has become a cheerleader for Trump’s trade war with a “near constant presence on cable television,” CNN reported. But he has privately told friends that he is “not thrilled” that Trump fractured trade relations with Canada and Mexico by raising tariffs from the start instead of using them as leverage down the line.
