“Elon Musk is a terrible president” Tim Walz is right. He could have been our VP if people weren’t so racist.

Walz's post came as other Democrats spoke out against Musk’s unfettered access to personal data and payment information for American citizens, despite never being elected, vetted, or confirmed for a government position.
