Elon Musk Reacts To Tim Walz’s Tesla Stock Joke | EUROtoday

Tech billionaire Elon Musk known as Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz a “huge jerk” for being “overjoyed” concerning the downward pattern of Tesla shares.

“I mean, you have Tim Walz, who’s a huge jerk, running around on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price had gone in half, and he was overjoyed,” Musk stated throughout an interview with Fox News on Friday.

The Tesla CEO continued, “What an evil thing to do—what a creep, what a jerk. Like, who derives joy from that? And it was pointed out to him that the Minnesota state pension fund is a major investor in Tesla, but he didn’t care because he was so overjoyed by the Tesla stock [tanking].”

Musk added, “Does that sound like a good person to you? I don’t think so.”

Speaking on the rising stories of vandalism at Tesla dealerships, Musk stated, “Think it would help 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?”

Musk’s scathing feedback aimed on the former vice presidential candidate got here after Walz gloated throughout a Wisconsin city corridor occasion earlier this month that he’s been checking his iPhone’s inventory app to watch Tesla shares plummet every time he wants “a little boost during the day.”

Walz later walked again his feedback throughout one other city corridor in Minnesota on March 22.

“[Musk] bugs me in a way that’s probably unhealthy,” he stated. “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.”

Walz added on the time, “But my point was, they’re all mad, and I said something I probably shouldn’t have about a company.”

Tesla’s inventory market worth has taken a nosedive since Musk’s so-called Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, orchestrated the firing of hundreds of federal workers in addition to large finances cuts in quite a few businesses on the command of President Donald Trump, whom Musk spent hundreds of thousands of {dollars} to assist him get reelected for a second presidency in November.
