“I’m not going to waste all the time on him,” Vice President Harris’ running mate told the crowd in Madison, Wisconsin.Â
“I’m going to talk about his running mate,” he said. “Elon Musk.”Â

“Elon’s on that stage, jumping around, skipping like a dip—- on these things,” he said, likely referencing Musk’s appearance at a rally for former President Donald Trump.Â

According to Walz, Trump is “promising corruption” in front of Americans, claiming he has promised to put Musk in charge of the regulatory bodies that oversee his businesses.Â

Trump reportedly said the commission would conduct “a complete financial and performance audit of the entire federal government.”
Musk has been increasingly involved in politics and the 2024 election in particular, working to help Republicans win races down-ballot. The billionaire has spearheaded a voter turnout PAC, donated substantial amounts to other groups, and started a controversial million dollar giveaway to battleground voters, among other things.
“Here’s the good news, Madison,” Walz said on Tuesday. “Donald Trump is never going to be president. Elon Musk is never going to run anything.”
