When Tim Walz mocked Tesla’s falling shares
Mocking Tesla’s struggles in a post on X earlier this year, Walz wrote: “If you need a little boost during the day, check out Tesla stock.” He also shared a video in which he joked about adding Tesla to the Stocks app on his iPhone to watch its decline, quipping, “225 and dropping.”
Taking the joke further, Walz added: “If you own one, we’re not blaming you. You can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off, you know.”
Musk hit back with a not-so-subtle comment then. He wrote “Sometimes when I need a little boost, I look at the @JDVance portrait in the @WhiteHouse and thank the Lord”. The tech billionaire didn’t stop there. He called Walz a "huge j**k" and "a creep”.
Later, Walz took a u-turn on his comment against Tesla stocks, saying hat he was “making a joke”.
