Elon Musk has fired back at Minnesota Governor Tim Walz after Walz took a jab at Tesla's plummeting stock price. The electric vehicle giant has seen its stock tumble 44% year-to-date, driven by slowing sales, increased competition, and Musk’s ongoing involvement with Dogecoin (DOGE), which has drawn criticism from investors. Mocking Tesla’s struggles, Walz posted on X: “If you need a little boost during the day, check out Tesla stock.” He also posted a video joking about adding Tesla to the Stocks app on his iPhone to track its decline, saying, “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.”
Elon Musk reply to Tim Walz has a 'JD Vance joke'
Responding to Walz, the tech billionaire wrote, “Sometimes when I need a little boost, I look at the @JDVance portrait in the @WhiteHouse and thank the Lord”. The comment was a not-so-subtle swipe at Tim Walz, the Democratic governor of Minnesota, a longtime advocate for progressive policies and a key ally of Kamala Harris, who was her running mate in last year’s election. Walz, a former congressman and National Guard veteran, has been a vocal critic of the current administration’s stance on technology regulations and economic policy, making him a frequent target of conservative figures
