Musk hits back at Walz over Tesla criticism: 'Huge jerk'
Tech billionaire Elon Musk responded to Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz's (D) quip about celebrating the dip in Tesla stocks, calling the former vice presidential nominee a "huge jerk."
During an interview with Fox News's Bret Baier, Musk was asked about the market drop, recent vandalism at Tesla dealerships, and criticism of his work with President Trump's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
"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," he told Baier. "Does that help Tesla?"
"I mean, you have Tim Walz, who’s a huge jerk, running on stage when the Tesla stock price has gone in half, and he was overjoyed," Musk continued. "What an evil thing to do. What a creep, what a jerk."
