‘What a creep. What a jerk.’

Billionaire Elon Musk fired back at the man who could have been vice president over his “evil” comments about Tesla stock.

Many leftists have wished ill on Musk and his businesses, and by extension, the tens of thousands of average Americans who work for him; few are as high-profile as Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

Walz, who joined former Vice President Kamala Harris’s ill-fated race for the White House, recently delighted in Tesla stock plunging and later saying it gave him “a little boost” while trying to brush his controversial comments off as a joke.

“This guy bugs me in a way that is probably unhealthy,” he said to audience applause. “But I have to be careful about being a smartass. I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor. They are the most literal people, most literal people. But my point was they’re all mad, and I said something I didn’t — you know, probably shouldn’t have about a company.”

Musk fired back during a Fox News interview, calling Walz a “jerk” and a “creep.”

“My companies are suffering because I’m in the government. You just pointed that out a moment ago,” Musk said. “Do you think it helps sales if dealerships are being firebombed? Of course not. And Tesla customers are being intimidated all over the country and all over Europe. Does that help Tesla?”

“You had Tim Walz, who’s a huge jerk, running around on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price has gone in half, and he was overjoyed. What an evil thing to do. What a creep. What a jerk,” the X owner said. “Who derives joy from that?”

Social media users couldn’t have agreed more:

It is so very sad. I sure hope that @elonmusk knows that real Americans absolutely love him for EVERYTHING he has and is doing for all of us. ❤️

Always “just a joke” when they get called out

His point is well taken. Why would any politician have joy in an American company not doing well. One that has not taken a political stance one way or the other.
