After Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice presidential candidate Tim Walz taunted Elon Musk for Tesla’s stock dropping and news then broke that his state had millions of shares of the company in 2024, he offered a lame apology for his behavior.

Speaking at a town hall event in Rochester, Minnesota, Walz declared of Musk, “This guy bugs me in a way that is probably unhealthy,” to applause and cheers. “I have to be careful about being a smarta**. I was making a joke. These people have no sense of humor. They are the most literal people. My point was that they’re all mad, and I said something I probably shouldn’t have about a company,” he stated.

Then he accused people outraged by his comments about Tesla of being “butthurt,” continuing, “I make the case they’re all butthurt about the Tesla thing, but they don’t care the disrespect they have shown to employees at the Minneapolis VA who care for our veterans and they fire them. They don’t care.”

The failed vice presidential candidate claimed, “We will have the conversation about efficiency in government and about doing that but none of us believe for a second they’re thinking about this.”

“Oh, we fired everybody that’s dealing with Ebola, and then he went into the Oval Office wearing a hat,” he said of Musk. “I don’t want to hear anybody talking about decorum and respect or that, wearing a hat, coming in there, the richest man in the world.”

Then, in typical Democrat fashion, he dreamt of how he would spend other people’s money, bloviating, “Again, maybe it’s just me: If I’m the richest man in the world, I’m like out on the streets handing out money, it’d be fun as hell, just to help people out.”

Walz’s loudmouth has falsely accused Musk of giving a Nazi salute after President Trump’s inauguration, telling MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, “We spent three days debating, having them try to debate that ‘President Musk’ gave a Nazi salute. Of course, he did.”

 

Walz — who signed a bill requiring putting tampons in boys’ bathrooms between the grades of 4-12 — has also boasted he could beat up Trump supporters who have questioned his masculinity, bragging, “I think I could kick most of their a**! I do think that … I know I can outrun them. I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we, okay, we challenge you to, you know, a WWE fight here, type of thing. … I think some of us scare them. I think I scare them a little bit, it’s why they spend so much time on this.”
