JD Vance, the Vice President of a venture capital firm and author of the book ‘Hillbilly Elegy’, is facing criticism from Elon Musk’s younger brother over his support for President Trump’s tariffs. The younger Musk, who is also a venture capitalist, took to social media to call out Vance for his stance on tariffs and how it could negatively impact people like those portrayed in ‘Hillbilly Elegy’. Vance has been a vocal supporter of Trump’s trade policies, but Musk believes that these tariffs could have devastating effects on struggling communities. The clash between the two has sparked a debate over the economic impacts of tariffs and the political divide within the tech world.
