The White House press secretary called out Minnesota’s governor for celebrating the struggles of an American company. Karoline Leavitt slammed Tim Walz during a Newsmax interview after he mocked Tesla’s dropping stock prices. She said his behavior was “sad” and showed he cares more about politics than American workers.
Walz made headlines this week when he laughed about Tesla’s financial troubles. He told a crowd he checks the stock daily for a “boost” as it keeps falling. The Democrat governor even told Tesla owners to peel the company logo off their cars. Tesla employs nearly 70,000 workers nationwide but recently cut 3,000 jobs.
Elon Musk shot back at Walz with a brutal social media post. He joked about looking at a portrait of Vice President JD Vance in the White House for comfort. Conservatives praised Musk for defending his company while Walz seemed to cheer for its downfall.
Tesla isn’t just any company – it’s a major U.S. employer. Its struggles mean real pain for families in California and Texas. Walz laughs while workers lose jobs. That tells you everything about today’s Democrats. They’d rather score cheap political points than support American businesses.
Vandals have attacked Tesla stores and charging stations across the country. Many believe this violence comes from liberals angry at Musk’s role in government. As head of the Department of Government Efficiency, Musk has pushed to slash wasteful spending. That makes him a target for the Left.
Walz isn’t just attacking Musk – he’s spitting on American innovation. Tesla changed the auto industry with electric cars. Now Democrats mock its challenges while China’s car companies grow. This is why middle America distrusts coastal elites running the Democratic Party.
Conservatives say Walz’s comments reveal a bitter streak. He lost big as Kamala Harris’ running mate in 2024. Now he’s trying to stay relevant by picking fights with successful businessmen. It’s a sad strategy for a man who wants to lead the free world.
Real leaders build people up – they don’t kick them when they’re down. While Walz jokes about stock prices, President Trump fights for factory jobs and energy independence. That’s the choice in 2028 – champion American workers or laugh while they suffer.
