As loudmouth Minnesota governor and failed Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz mocked Tesla’s stock dropping in the face of attacks on Tesla cars and dealers across the country,
He neglected to mention that as recently as last summer, Minnesota had 1.6 million shares of Tesla in its retirement fund and 211,000 shares of Tesla in its non-retirement fund.
“I was saying, on my phone, I know some of you know this, on the iPhone, they’ve got that little stock app; I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day, 225 and dropping,” Walz gloated to a cheering crowd. “And if you own one, we’re not blaming you. You can take dental floss and pull the Tesla thing off, you know. I’m just tellin’ ya.”
As Gov. Walz gloats about Tesla stock dropping, records from the Minnesota State Board of Investment show that as of 6/30/24, the state of Minnesota had 1.6 million shares of Tesla in its retirement fund, and 211,000 shares of Tesla in its non-retirement fund.

Jon Hantami, a Los Angeles County Deputy District Attorney, summed up how politically foolhardy the leftist activists who have targeted Tesla vehicles are, writing:
So, you are mad because your person lost the presidential election. You then decide to vandalize an innocent person’s car because the car manufacturer supports the other guy. The innocent person now has to file a police report which could take hours or possibly days. The innocent person also needs to file a report with his/her insurance carrier which could take hours, days, or even weeks. The innocent person then needs to pay his/her deductible to get his/her car fixed. If this innocent person was a Trump supporter, well now he’s even more of a Trump supporter. If this innocent person was a Harris supporter, well now he or she is likely a Trump supporter.
Let’s talk about this entire Tesla situation:

Walz’s loudmouth antics recently included him moaning that his critics didn’t think he was masculine, then boasting, “I think I could kick most of their a**! I do think that … I know I can outrun them. I don’t know if we’re going to fall into that place where we, okay, we challenge you to, you know, a WWE fight here, type of thing.”
🚨NEW: Tim Walz GRIPES about attacks on his masculinity during 2024 campaign🚨
“It just baffled me how much time they spent trying to attack me — that I wasn’t like masculine enough in their vision. Like, I would have never believed this.” @DailyCaller pic.twitter.com/3p4YkCpslv

Roughly two weeks before the November election, Walz bashed Tesla CEO Elon Musk after he appeared on the campaign trail to help Donald Trump, crowing, “Elon’s on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dips***.”
CBS News noted of Minnesota on March 6, “If the state continues to outspend its revenue growth, there will be a deficit of nearly $6 billion in future years, officials said — $852 million worse than the previous forecast.”
