Minnesota Governor Tim Walz set himself up for a brutal comeback from Elon Musk and even a challenge from former NWA Champion Tyrus.
The failed Democrat vice presidential nominee is making the rounds in support of his party and doing a great job reminding the country why Republicans won in November. During one event, he celebrated the drop in Tesla stocks, and during a podcast with California Gov. Gavin Newsom, he declared he could take on supporters of President Donald Trump in a fight and “kick most of their a**.”
During his appearance with Newsom, Walz agreed with the Democrat governor that “we cannot continue to be on the defense.” But the Minnesota governor did not jump on board with Newsom’s newfound drift to the middle as he suggested “you gotta respect people you disagree with.”
“How do you fight it?” Walz interjected, adding “I do think I could kick most of their a**.”
He really said that …. @GovTimWalz I’m your huckleberry that’s just my game say when … https://t.co/CZ2JYQQ2Dx

Fox News contributor and former professional wrestler Tyrus accepted Walz’s challenge.
“He really said that ….@GovTimWalz I’m your huckleberry that’s just my game say when …,” the 52-year-old, who stands at 6ft 7in, posted on X.
Many on social media looked forward to Walz’s reaction to the invite from Tyrus.

Walz continued to trend on X where his tasteless glee over plunging Tesla stock prices earned him a blistering response from the CEO of the electric car company.
“If you need a little boost during the day, check out Tesla stock,” the Democrat wrote on X where he posted a video of himself at a town hall in Eau Claire, Wisconsinan where he celebrated the stock hit on an American vehicle company.
But Musk fired back, writing, “Sometimes when I need a little boost, I look at the @JDVance portrait in the @WhiteHouse and thank the Lord 🙏.”

Walz may have gotten a few laughs from his audience at the event, but X users joined Musk in calling out the governor.
Democrats lost the most historic landslide loss in history and not only did they not change anything, they actually went even further to the extreme left. It’s beautiful. Don’t change a thing Democrats, you’re doing great 👍

Tim Walz is now rooting for American companies to fail… not shocking.

You are a disgrace. I worked at Tesla for over 4 years. I know many who still work there. Tesla is one of America’s crown jewels, and you actively want it to fail.
You should be ashamed of yourself. You don’t deserve to be anywhere near public service.

Not only are you rooting for the failure of a company that employs tens of thousands of Americans, but you’re also cheering on the decline of the #1 manufacturer of electric cars while you simultaneously claim to champion green energy policies.

You, and everyone like you, is why I left the Democratic Party.
This is not how you win anyone back.
Do better.
