Musk Defends Tesla Amid Stock Decline Criticism

In a recent interview on Fox News, Tesla CEO Elon Musk criticized Minnesota Governor Tim Walz for his comments mocking Tesla's recent stock performance.

Governor's Mockery Sparks Controversy

During a town hall event in Wisconsin, Governor Walz joked about tracking Tesla's falling stock prices on his iPhone, claiming it gave him "a little boost during the day." Musk responded by pointing out the irony in Walz celebrating losses that could harm "his own people," referring to the retirees whose pensions are tied to Tesla's stock performance.
