Tesla Inc (NASDAQ: TSLA) Chief Elon Musk, on Friday, in a tweet, said that the company could lower the prices of its electric vehicles if inflation “calms down.”

“If inflation calms down, we can lower prices for cars,” Musk said in a tweet.

On Wednesday, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported a higher-than-expected inflation rate, with the consumer price index (CPI) rising 9.1% from a year ago, the largest gain since the end of 1981.

Tesa increased the prices of all of its car models in the US and China in March and again hiked prices across its models as recently as June, with some models going up by as much as $6,000.
