Musk Criticizes Walz Amid Tesla Stock Struggles

Elon Musk has strongly criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for mocking Tesla's plummeting stock prices during a Wisconsin town hall event. Walz joked about adding Tesla to his stock app to enjoy the company's declining share value, which has fallen significantly due to Musk's controversial government job cuts and Tesla's business challenges. Musk responded by labeling Walz a 'huge jerk' and 'evil' for taking pleasure in the company's struggles, highlighting that the Minnesota state pension fund is a significant Tesla investor. The backlash against Walz's remarks led him to clarify that he was making a joke, attributing the reaction to a lack of humor. Meanwhile, Tesla has faced vandalism and attacks on its dealerships, attributed to Musk's role in the Department of Government Efficiency under President Trump. Despite these challenges, Musk remains vocal about the impact of the political environment and public perception on Tesla's performance.
