Governor Tim Walz yesterday claimed he was only joking about Tesla stock when he said how much he enjoys watching the stock fall because he hates Elon Musk.

He’s backtracking after the controversy he caused and now admits he shouldn’t have said it.

We aren’t stupid. Walz wasn’t joking when he verbally attacked a company that’s been getting physically attacked in various ways by domestic terrorists. He’s only backtracking now because of the outrage he caused and just wants to save face.
