Minnesota Governor Tim Walz is catching heat for cheering Tesla’s falling stock prices. Walz told a crowd he checks Tesla’s plunging shares on his phone for a “little boost” during the day. Critics say this shows how out-of-touch Democrats have become, rooting against American companies instead of supporting workers and innovation.
Walz mocked Tesla’s stock drop from $479 to around $235 per share, joking, “225 and dropping!” But Minnesota’s own pension funds own over 1.8 million Tesla shares. When the stock crashes, it hurts retirees like teachers and firefighters. Shark Tank’s Kevin O’Leary blasted Walz as “beyond stupid” for ignoring his own state’s financial losses.
Meanwhile, Tesla dealerships and cars are being vandalized with Molotov cocktails and key scratches. Some Democrats won’t clearly condemn the attacks. Walz’s remarks added fuel to the fire, with conservatives calling it “un-American” to celebrate a major employer’s struggles. Tesla employs nearly 70,000 workers nationwide, many in union-heavy states like California and Texas.
The White House slammed Walz, joking they’d rather look at portraits of Vice President JD Vance. Elon Musk fired back, mocking Walz’s 2024 election loss as Kamala Harris’ running mate. Critics say Walz cares more about scoring political points than jobs or the economy.
Walz even told Tesla owners to peel off their car logos with dental floss. Conservatives called this petty and divisive. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said Walz lives a “sad existence” after his crushing defeat. Polls show Democrats’ approval sinking to record lows as leaders like Walz push radical stunts.
Tesla’s stock plunge could wreck retirement funds in multiple states. New York Democrats want to dump 3.5 million shares, risking seniors’ savings. While Bud Light faced peaceful boycotts, Tesla faces violent attacks—and Democrats won’t stop it.
Elon Musk remains a top Trump advisor, streamlining government waste. His work rescues taxpayer dollars, but Democrats smear him instead of praising progress. Trump recently bought a Tesla to support American innovation, calling Musk a “great patriot.”
Conservatives say Walz’s antics prove the Left hates success. Rooting for Tesla’s collapse hurts workers, retirees, and U.S. leadership. Democrats would rather burn down businesses than back American ingenuity. It’s a shameful low for a party that claims to fight for the little guy.
