Tim Walz Reveals The Hilariously Petty Way He Adds A 'Boost' To His Day Thanks To Musk

The Minnesota Governor told a crowd in Wisconsin about how he's found a nice little pick-me-up for his day—by adding Tesla to the stock app on his phone.

Minnesota Governor and former vice presidential candidate Tim Walz mocked billionaire Elon Musk, telling a crowd in Wisconsin about how he's found a nice little pick-me-up for his day—by adding Tesla to the stock app on his phone.

Walz's remarks came as news outlets reported that Tesla shares have plunged over 40% since January, wiping out the entire “Trump bump” that had temporarily driven the stock up more than 90% following Election Day. Musk, whose fortune is largely tied to his Tesla holdings, has seen his personal net worth shrink by a staggering $121 billion in just three months.


After reporting its first-ever decline in global sales last year, Tesla’s outlook for this year isn’t much better. Analysts from major firms—including RBC, UBS, Goldman Sachs, Mizuho, and JPMorgan—have all cut their delivery forecasts for the company.

This was on Walz's mind as he spoke at a town hall event in Eau Claire, joking:

"I know you've noticed on the iPhone they've got that little stock app. I added Tesla to give me a boost during the day. 225 and dropping."
"If you own one, we're not blaming you. You can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off, just telling you."

You can hear what he said in the video below.

If you need a little boost during the day, check out Tesla stock 📉

It was hilarious.


Walz later took to X with the following message underscoring his point:

"Wisconsin knows we need to get money and Musk out of politics."

You can see his post below.

Many loved his response.



Tesla’s troubles deepened on Monday with a double dose of bad news from China.

Its top Chinese competitor, BYD, introduced a new charging system capable of delivering 250 miles of range in just five minutes—twice as fast as Tesla’s chargers. That same day, Tesla rolled out a free month-long trial of its “Full Self-Driving” software in China, an apparent attempt to claw back its shrinking market share.

The company’s stock dropped 5% in the U.S. on Monday, followed by another 5% on Tuesday after RBC slashed its price target, citing intensifying domestic competition.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.
