Will Musk reimburse us for our losses if we sell for less than cost from his personal fortune?

Or he's saving his money to buy a Supreme Court justice in Wisconsin for 20 million like he bought a president for 300 million?

What can he do if we ignore him and charge prices based on our costs.

Which he's raising.

Why should we pay for his actions?

Even if this is fake news, just think about it yourself that if auto prices rise by 25% on 82% of our products overnight, that's going to massively impact demand and the need for workers.

Fake news or not, it sounds very plausible that these discussions would be happening. Problem has been brewing since late 80's to early 90's when investments went to outsourcing instead of local to the US.
