I’m just going to dive right into this, because, honestly, where do I even begin? Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, and former Democratic vice-presidential nominee, has made a joke about Tesla’s stock price plunging, and I am HERE. FOR. IT. But, and this is a big but, did he really think that joke was going to fly without any backlash? I mean, come on, the man is a politician, not a stand-up comedian.
And, let’s be real, boycotts and protests against Tesla are nothing new, but this time, it seems like they’re actually having an impact on the company’s stock price. I mean, who wouldn’t want to boycott a company led by someone like Elon Musk, who thinks it’s okay to give a Nazi-style salute at an event? But, I guess that’s a topic for another time.
Now, back to Tim Walz’s joke, because, honestly, it’s just too good to pass up. He said that he’s added Tesla’s stock to his iPhone app, just so he can get a little "boost" during the day. And, I’m not even kidding, the stock price is at 225 and dropping. But, hey, if you own a Tesla, don’t worry, you can just take some dental floss and pull the Tesla badge off, problem solved. I mean, it’s not like that’s going to affect the company’s stock price or anything.
But, in all seriousness, Musk’s wealth has fallen by $148 billion since January, and that’s no laughing matter. I mean, the man has lost $29 billion in one day alone, and that’s just crazy. And, according to Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index, he’s still the richest man in the world, but for how long? I guess only time will tell.
And, can we just take a moment to talk about Musk’s response to Walz’s joke? I mean, the man is just salty, because he wrote on Twitter/X that he looks at the vice-president’s portrait in the White House and thanks the Lord. I mean, okay, buddy, whatever floats your boat.
But, in conclusion, I just want to say that this whole situation is just a big mess. I mean, you have Tim Walz making jokes about Tesla’s stock price, and then you have Elon Musk getting all salty about it. And, in the middle of all this, you have Tesla’s stock price plummeting. I mean, it’s just a big circus, and I’m just here for the popcorn.
And, on a completely unrelated note, has anyone seen the new air fryer on Amazon? I mean, it’s supposed to be amazing, and I’m thinking of getting one. But, I guess that’s a topic for another time.
But, anyway, back to the story at hand. I mean, it’s just crazy to think about how much Musk’s wealth has fallen in such a short amount of time. And, I’m not even going to get into the whole Nazi-style salute** thing, because, honestly, it’s just too much.
And, finally, I just want to say that if you’re looking for a good laugh, you should definitely check out Tim Walz’s TikTok video where he makes the joke about Tesla’s stock price. I mean, it’s just hilarious, and it’s definitely worth a watch. But, hey, what do I know, I’m just a random person on the internet.
And, in the end, it’s all just a big game, and we’re all just pawns. I mean, Elon Musk is a billionaire, and he’s going to do what he wants, no matter what. And, Tim Walz is just a politician trying to get a laugh. And, we’re all just stuck in the middle, watching the whole thing unfold. But, hey, at least it’s entertaining, right?
