Democrat Tim Walz's X account describes him as "Dad, husband, teacher, coach, veteran. 41st Governor of Minnesota." Now he can add viral shade thrower to the list.
Walz took to X on Monday to offer feedback on the presidency of Republican Donald Trump. Or more precisely, the man pulling the strings of the 47th President, X CEO Elon Musk.
Walz posted on Musk's site:
" Elon Musk is a terrible president."

Meanwhile, Trump's White House Communications Director, Steven Cheung, tried to defend his boss with an "Alpha male" insult.
But Cheung's puerile defense drew ridicule.

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.
