The left has become the anti-America party…
Failed vice presidential candidate and current Minnesota Governor Tim Walz went viral on Wednesday for declaring watching Tesla stock fall makes him happy.
“I added Tesla to [my iPhone stock app] to give me a little boost during the day. 225 and dropping,” Walz quipped. “If you own one, we’re not blaming you. You can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off. Just telling.”
Tesla founder Elon Musk responded to the clip of Walz, saying, “Sometimes when I need a little boost, I look at the [JD Vance] portrait in the White House and thank the Lord.”

Conservatives on X defended Musk — and unloaded on Walz.
“Tim Walz brags about Tesla’s stock price falling. Democrats are now rooting against one of the most successful companies in American history — an electric vehicle company! — because they’re mad @elonmusk is cutting waste and fraud. True insanity,” Outkick founder Clay Travis posted.
“Elon is bringing stranded astronauts home from space while Tim Walz travels around crying about him and celebrating the Tesla attacks. Innovation vs Destruction. We are not the same,” Libs of TikTok posted.
“During the campaign, financially illiterate buffoon Tim Walz bragged about owning no stocks or bonds. His interaction with the market now is to cheer for an American company to fail in the hopes that 80k American workers will lose their job. Says the thought of it gives him ‘a boost,'” CNN contributor Scott Jennings posted.
“Tesla employs ~80,000 Americans. Tesla makes the best-selling car in the world. Tesla is revolutionizing transportation. And Democrats are rooting for it to fail. This is grotesque,” John LeFevre shared
