Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz hit out against billionaire Elon Musk, who has become a fixture on the campaign trial with Donald Trump, at a rally on Tuesday.
“Elon’s on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dips–t,” Walz said at the rally in Madison, Wisconsin.
“I’m gonna talk about his running mate... His running mate, Elon Musk,” he quipped.

Musk first appeared alongside Trump at his second rally in Butler, Pennsylvania— less than two months after Trump survived an assassination attempt in the same location.
Footage went viral of Musk jumping around and waving at the crowd when Trump invited him onto the stage.
Walz also attacked the amount of money Musk has been funneling into Trump’s campaign.
“That guy is literally the richest man in the world, spending millions of dollars to help Donald Trump buy an election,” he said.
Musk, who previously said that he wouldn’t be donating to a presidential candidate, has since backtracked on that statement and gone, in his own words, “Dark MAGA.”
Musk’s “Dark MAGA” agenda includes his own political action committee to support Trump’s re-election bid, called America PAC. Musk is the sole donor of the PAC, which has spent $72 million supporting Trump so far.
He also launched highly-publicized $1 million giveaways to registered swing state voters who pledge their support to the 1st and 2nd Amendments.
Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro called on law enforcement Sunday to investigate Musk’s giveaways.
“When you start flowing this kind of money into politics, I think it raises serious questions,” Shapiro said on Meet the Press.
Musk on Saturday made his first solo campaign appearance, where he surprised a Pennsylvania voter with a $1 million check.
