Tim Walz Refers to Elon Musk as ‘That Gay Guy,’ Campaign Clarifies it was a Misstatement

[Social Media]

 

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, currently running as the Democratic vice presidential nominee alongside Kamala Harris, referred to Elon Musk as “that gay guy.” The comment, which quickly sparked reactions online, was later clarified by the Harris-Walz campaign, which insisted that Walz simply misspoke.

The comment occurred as Walz discussed tax policies on the campaign trail. “That guy, that gay guy. Michigan knows that word,” he said, referencing Musk, who has publicly voiced his support for Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump. Walz’s remark immediately drew attention on social media, where critics were quick to express disapproval. However, Musk, CEO of Tesla, SpaceX, and X, took the situation in stride, responding humorously on social media. "I have no problem being called gay tbh,” Musk wrote in reply to a post describing Walz’s comment as “beyond pathetic.”

 

Later that evening, the Harris-Walz campaign addressed the comment, explaining that Walz had stumbled over his words. A campaign spokesperson told *The Post*, “The governor stuttered while trying to say ‘that guy got,’” emphasizing that Walz had no intention of calling Musk gay. The spokesperson added, “In the video, you can hear someone in the crowd yell ‘dips–t!’ when the governor brings up Musk.” The unexpected outburst reportedly led Walz to laugh and fumble his words, getting “stuck on the G in ‘that guy got’ while trying not to laugh.”

 

The campaign’s clarification attempted to dispel any misconceptions about the remark, insisting that the phrase was not intentional but rather an innocent misstep influenced by the crowd’s reaction. Despite the initial wave of social media criticism, Musk’s lighthearted response seemed to defuse much of the tension around the incident.

Well in Mr Walzs defense when Elon is jumping around on the stage he does look a bit (light in the lofers) ahemm……..or perhaps like a crazed jackaloon!

Trying to act like a gen Z because he runs a tech firm. He reminded me of Trump's daddy dancing on stage.

But didn't Waltz use being gay as a negative connotation?  And isn't the DEM party the side that supposedly endorses the LGBTQ?  Hmm.  Seems like suppressed or hidden homophobia.

It's a common expression of love, just like "that pedo guy".

It's all Mr Musk's fault that tim is an embecile.

[blaze master]

How about Tim's own questionable dancing on stage. What a knucklehead. 

[Cryingdick]

Pretty funny. The guy with all kinds of rumors about him being a closet case says something like this. Never mind it isn't PC.

They'd have been better off trying the old "he had a cold", or "he just got off a long flight" excuse.

 

The desperation is showing.

From what I have observed on TV Walz appears to be strange, to put it mildly. Amazing to think that should Harris win, which seems a strong possibility. and then has to leave office for whatever reason, Walz will be in charge.

Musks called others pedophile, and he got away with it.

I think calling Musk gay is just fair. Please more of the same.

It wouldn't matter if it wasn't someone trying to win an election based on Trump bad, Trump bad.

When accusing the opposition of being a bad man, it behooves one to be beyond reproach.

I'm lovin' that it's looking so bad for the Dems- finally exposed for what they really are.

 

Seriously, they'd have done better to have tried " he misread the teleprompter" than the rubbish in the OP.

Musk isn't running for office. Walz is running as a pro-homo progressive. I don't care what he calls Musk but he isn't scoring political points doing such things. He is a guy that can't even show up at a football game because of his checkered past. So he would be wise just to stay on topic.

But you'd be happy with Vance.

Walz showing his true colours again. Accusing someone of being homosexual as a way to insult them is not really a good look for someone claiming to be a #bekind progressive. 

 

They need to gag him and Harris. Unfortunately it won't make a difference at this point.

 

See you next Tuesday Tim.

The irony is killing me.

[WDSmart]

That's funny, but it reminds me of other US English words that are now "outlawed." One of them is "queer." Queer is such a wonderful word. The way it's spelled looks queer, and I'd like to use it more. But, of course, like many other words, such as "gay," most people associate it with something it was never intended to describe.

Dems sometimes forget how to hide their hate.

 

BTW, homosexuality is outlawed in Tampon Tims favourite nation, China.

Well that should be up to the People of a Nation who have to decide whether their social contract should include the approval of which perversions and to what extent.

Well thats the way the system works here. There is nothing in the constitution about homosexuals, foot fetishists, or any of the other perversions from normal sexuality.

Nor does it preclude a national law for some thing which equally affects everyone in the nation. I know that won't satisfy those who want the US to break up but that's how the system works there.

Tim is famous for his tampon affiliations and obsession with the same. Unsure how such a great stolen valor lying moron could lose to Trump in his home county. Takes a special kind of stupid to achieve that.

I called it several months ago.

 

It was obvious. Harris and Trump are like Laurel and Hardy.

 

All I got from the trolls on here was "pinned". Strangely they are not referring back to those "pinned" posts now.

 

In fact they disappeared altogether although I'm sure they are reading (after signing out).

 

They've got nothing. Not even a request for links. 😄

They're likely feeling it now, after watching their cackling idol get dragged thru the MAGA meat grinder, chewed to pieces and humiliated by Trump. Liberals tend to have mental problems at higher rates than conservatives. LOL....just look at the imbecile stolen valor Tim and his outstanding arm flapping vibrating like a dildo while on stage. Mrs. stolen valor is also some odd basket case nut-bar.

There are many white liberals posting here but curiously, just not lately it seems. Maybe they hibernated....lol, or are seeking therapy.
