Tim Walz takes sharp dig at Elon Musk, calls him Donald Trump's 'running mate'

Tim Walz the vice presidential candidate running alongside Kamala Harris on Tuesday took a sharp dig at tech giant Elon Musk.

During his rally, Walz termed Musk as the "running mate" of Donald Trump he said, "I'm going to talk about his running mate, his running mate, Elon Musk,” Walz said.

Referring to Musk's appearance in a rally alongside Trump in Pennsylvania Walz said, "Elon’s on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dipsh*t."


The event came just two months after Trump survived an assassination attempt in the same location.

Walz went on to point out the massive financial contributions Musk has made to Trump’s re-election efforts. "That guy is literally the richest man in the world, spending millions of dollars to help Donald Trump buy an election,” Walz stated.

Musk who previously did not involve in any presidential election has now launched America PAC, a political action committee solely funded by his own wealth, which has already funneled $72 million into Trump’s campaign. In addition, Musk has drawn further scrutiny for offering $1 million giveaways to swing-state voters who pledge support for the 1st and 2nd Amendments.

Walz also criticised his opponent, JD Vance, whom he debated earlier this month, stating that he didn't gave a straightforward answer about whether the former president lost the 2020 election.
