Minnesota Governor and Democratic vice-presidential nominee Tim Walz launched a sharp critique of Elon Musk during a rally in Madison, Wisconsin. Appearing alongside former President Barack Obama, Walz took aim at Musk’s support for Donald Trump, likening the tech billionaire to Trump’s "running mate" in an unexpected jab.

"Elon's on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dipshit."

Speaking to a crowd on the first day of early voting, Walz addressed Musk’s recent political involvement and ridiculed him for his visible support of Trump. "I'm going to talk about his running mate, his running mate, Elon Musk," Walz said, implying a close alignment between the two influential figures. The event marked an important push for early votes in the college town, as Democrats work to secure Wisconsin, a key battleground state.

 

Walz didn’t hold back in his criticisms, also pointing to Republican Senator JD Vance, who has been hesitant to directly acknowledge whether Trump lost the 2020 election. “Where is Senator Vance after he got asked the simplest question in the world at the debate, ‘Did Donald Trump lose the 2020 election?’” Walz asked. “And after two weeks, he finally said, ‘No, he didn’t.’”

 

The governor then turned his attention back to Musk. Since purchasing Twitter in 2022 and rebranding it as X, Musk has been increasingly involved in the political arena, funneling money into super PACs such as America and Future Coalition. Musk’s efforts to promote these political action committees have drawn attention, including his controversial plan to randomly hand out $1 million checks to individuals who sign a petition supporting his PAC. 

 

Earlier in the month, Musk made headlines when he appeared on stage with Trump at a rally in Butler, Pennsylvania, a location where Trump had been shot earlier in the year. Musk’s performance onstage, which included some energetic jumping, didn’t go unnoticed by Walz, who used it as material for a biting onstage insult in Madison.

 

"Look, Elon is on that stage jumping around skipping like a dips*** on these things," Walz remarked, drawing laughter and applause from the crowd. The mocking tone was clear, as Walz emphasized the spectacle Musk had made of himself during the rally. "You know it," he added, to roaring approval from the audience.

 

Walz’s remarks underscore the growing political entanglement of Musk, once known primarily for his roles at Tesla and SpaceX, and now increasingly seen as a figure with significant influence in conservative political circles. With Musk’s overt political donations and his public appearances alongside Trump, he has become a target for Democratic figures like Walz, who are eager to call attention to Musk's role in bolstering Trump’s platform as they work to galvanize voter support.

Musk isn't the candidate. Walz is letting his desperation show. Has to be a "disappointment" that he chose to be with Harris when she can't even get ahead of Trump in the polls this close to the election.

He is the last guy that should ridicule anybody based upon physical looks or mannerisms. He is a caricature of a retarded Elmer Fudd on a good day. Mix that with Archie Bunker and that's him.

With daily mass shootings, tent cities full of zombies out drug addicts etc I think we can agree that calling the USA a civilized country is a stretch.

Walz and Comrade Kamala have nothing good to run on so they insult Trump, Vance, and Musk. They will look really stupid if Trump wins.

Yes, the only reason the Supreme Court overturned Roe vs Wade is because there have been so many school shootings they are running out of targets!

When Walz starts launching rockets into space, and creates the first viable new auto company in a century, I will take his comments a little more seriously. Until then, he is the guy who paintballs people standing outside their home.

Not even close, I am from Walz's state and he is a mental midget

Actually 2 dipsheeks who were at each other's throats not too long ago and now sharing the same stage; prancing around like an idiot with an idiot. What a sad sad pair of narcissists. Bet this strange relationship will not last long.

No, stolen Walz is much smarter than Musk and Vance put together, he's just pretending to stupid.

Then Harris should be prosecuted for promising people money to get votes? 

 

At least Elon is spending his own money.

As an observer, I wonder if US citizens are embarrassed at the way some of those seeking high office continually stoop to juvenile name calling? Something that most adults left behind in their preteen years. Are these the sort of people they want to represent their country? All very sad. But then perhaps it is the norm in this crazy mixed up so-called civilised age.

But she hasn't given it upfront. That would be classed as buying your way into power. All politicians promise the world to voters. But when they are in power. Hard brown stuff!
