After Minnesota Democrat governor and failed vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz ranted on MSNBC that Elon Musk gave a Nazi salute after President Trump’s inauguration, it was suggested on Musk’s X that Musk sue Walz.
And Musk agreed.
Walz appeared on MSNBC with host Rachel Maddow on Tuesday night, and in the process of making several unhinged statements, such as accusing Republicans by saying, “They want to destroy the federal government,” attacked Musk, declaring, “We spent three days debating, having them try to debate if President (sic) Musk gave a Nazi salute. Of course, he did.”
That prompted widespread criticism, including from conservative activist Robby Starbuck writing on X, “Creepy Tim Walz says ‘of course Elon did a Nazi salute. I hope Elon sues him for all he’s worth.”
Musk then reacted, “I think I will. Tim Walz is a creepy 🤡.”
As per usual with the Left, calling conservatives nazis seems to be a ubiquitous meme for Walz. In late October, when President Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York City, Walz compared it to a Nazi rally from the 1930’s.
“Donald Trump’s got this big rally going at Madison Square Garden,” Walz declared in Henderson, Nevada. “There’s a direct parallel to a big rally that happened in the mid-1930s at Madison Square Garden. And don’t think that he doesn’t know for one second exactly what they’re doing there.”
Walz was apparently referring to an American Nazi Party rally at Madison Square Garden in February 1939 organized by the pro-Hitler German American Bund that over 20,000 people attended.
While Walz was making his comments, the Democratic National Committee was projecting digital messages on Madison Square Garden’s exterior saying, “Trump praised Hitler.”
If Musk does sue Walz, it could be devastating. “Walz’s net worth is estimated at between $117,000 and $330,000, with most of his assets tied up in a retirement account, according to the document,” CBS News has reported. “While his financial disclosure didn’t outline the value of his federal pension benefit, it could be worth as much as $800,000, according to an analysis by the Wall Street Journal.”
