GOP Account Hit With Blunt Reminder After Shaming Dems For Celebrating Tesla's Downfall

The House Judiciary GOP X account shared a clip of Tim Walz celebrating Tesla's stock plummeting to shame Democrats for "CHEERING for American companies to fail"—and was quickly reminded of its own past tweets.

Minnesota Democratic Governor and former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz joined many Americans in a bit of schadenfreude regarding White House advisor Elon Musk’s recent reversal of fortune.

Musk, the self-described leader of the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), has seen protests against his actions on behalf of Republican President Donald Trump. Part of those protests include Tesla owners getting rid of their vehicles, buyers boycotting the brand, and stockholders dumping their shares.


Walz shared with a Wisconsin audience how seeing Musk’s stock plummet gives him a boost.

But the GOP's portion of the House Judiciary Committee—through their "House Judiciary GOP" X account—took exception to Walz's amusement.

The House Judiciary Committee is chaired by controversial Ohio Republican Representative Jim Jordan, who recently attended the NCAA Division 1 wrestling national championship with Elon Musk.

The Judiciary committee's Republican members posted:

"Democrats are CHEERING for American companies to fail."
"Disgusting behavior."

The post was almost immediately tagged with a community note stating:

"This same account has also cheered for the downfall of American companies."

The context included a link to a May 2023 post by the House Judiciary GOP account which said:

"Bud Light."
" Disney."
"Target."
"Go WOKE. Go BROKE."

Other X users also pointed out the GOP's hypocrisy.

As of this writing, the House Judiciary GOP post is still up on X—with the added community context.

Whether or not X owner Elon Musk censors that community note remains to be seen.

Even Trump's NASA Director Had To Set Kim Kardashian Straight After She Said The Moon Landing 'Didn't Happen'

Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy—who is also NASA's Acting Administrator—issued the weirdest fact-check ever when he corrected reality star Kim Kardashian after she revealed herself to be a moon landing conspiracist.

Conspiracy theorists have long alleged the moon landing was fabricated by NASA in what they claim was an elaborate hoax—and Kardashian certainly made it clear where she stands in a video speaking to co-star Sarah Paulson on the set of the new Hulu drama All’s Fair.

Kid Rock, whose real name is Robert James Ritchie, was speaking with Fox News host Jesse Watters when he donned a face mask and said he'd be going as a "r**ard" for Halloween. Watters had guessed he was dressed as Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases who spearheaded the nation's COVID-19 pandemic response.
