Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is eating crow after his attempt to mock Tesla’s stock drop blew up in his face. Last week, Walz bragged about adding Tesla to his phone’s stock app just to feel better watching shares fall. But when the stock rebounded over 20% days later, he got caught in his own trap. Turns out, Minnesota’s state pension fund owns 1.6 million Tesla shares. Oops.
Walz tried to play it off as a joke, saying liberals are too “literal” to get his humor. But nobody’s laughing. His anti-Elon Musk crusade backfired as Tesla’s stock soared from $225 to $288 a share. This guy forgot his own state’s workers and retirees depend on Tesla’s success. Pension funds for firefighters and teachers? Apparently, Walz would rather score cheap political points than protect their futures.
Meanwhile, leftists are burning down Tesla dealerships and vandalizing cars. The FBI is investigating these attacks as domestic terrorism. Democrats used to love Musk when he pushed electric cars. Now that he’s working with President Trump to cut government waste, they’ve turned on him faster than a woke college campus cancels free speech. It’s pure hypocrisy.
Elon Musk keeps winning. He just saved stranded astronauts abandoned by the Biden administration. Tesla’s rolling out new affordable models and self-driving tech. The Optimus robot could change everything. But all the left cares about is destroying a great American company because its CEO supports Trump. They’d rather burn progress than admit they’re wrong.
Walz looks like a clueless fool. Cheering against Tesla hurt the very people he claims to care about. Conservatives know real leadership isn’t about petty jokes or arson. It’s about results. Musk delivers. Walz? He’s just another politician who can’t handle the truth.
