Put a Cork in Your Outrage, Elon!

A couple of weeks ago Minnesota Governor Tim Walz made a humorous remark regarding Tesla while speaking at a political town hall meeting in Wisconsin.  Walz, who was the Democratic nominee for Vice President last year, was commenting on how Tesla stock was falling precipitously as the company's CEO and major stock holder, Elon Musk, was becoming more and more involved in politics and the operation of the United States government.

During the town hall Governor Walz had the temerity to tell those in attendance that he checks his iPhone stock app during the day to watch the Tesla stock plummet whenever he needs "a little boost during the day."  Governor Walz made his remark in a humorous vein, but Elon, the touchy billionaire, was not amused.

In fact, the humorless Elon Musk was embittered and vitriolic in his response to the remark that Governor Walz made in jest.    In an interview on Fox last Friday the immigrant billionaire did not hold back in expressing his views on Governor Walz:

"I mean, you have Tim Walz, who's a huge jerk, running around on stage with the Tesla stock price, where the stock price had gone in half, and he was overjoyed . . . What an evil thing to do - what a creep, what a jerk.  Who derives joy from a thing like that?"

Maybe if Elon Musk can't handle good, old-fashioned political hazing he should pull his South African nose out of American politics and go home!

Perhaps it's good to see the humorless billionaire focused on "evil things."  Maybe that will help him to understand the suffering and death that he helped to loose on the world when his unofficial government agency, DOGE, tore into USAID in a move that led to it being dismantled.  Children around the world suffered and even died from that atrocity.  Or how about when his minions forced their way into the US Institute for Peace and helped to bring the decades-long good work of that agency to a complete stop.  What an evil thing to do!

And don't get me started on Gramma not being able to sleep at night as she lives in abject fear of losing her social security benefits because of  the actions of the DOGE team - cutting personnel in the social security offices, cutting the number of offices, and limiting ways in which people can effectively contact the social security administration, especially if those good, God-fearing elderly folks live in rural areas.  What an evil thing to do.  What kind of a "creep" would cause a thing like that to happen?  What sort of uncaring "jerk" could call the nation's premier program for keeping the elderly fed, safe, and well a "ponzi scheme."

Put a cork in your outrage, Elon.  Each and every starving child in the world, regardless of their skin color, is worth more than a damned car, or a thousand damned cars, and so is every elderly person who is carefully rationing their groceries - or their medications - in the hope of spending a little more time with their loved ones.

Your priorities are twisted - and embarrassing - and definitely not American!

Boycott Tesla, America!  It's the least we can do!
