If you've been following the 2024 presidential election, you know Tim Walz was arguably the originator of Democrats calling Donald Trump and J.D. Vance "weird." Well, Walz is going viral for another one-liner, this time aimed at Elon Musk.

At a recent rally in Wisconsin, Walz discussed Musk's expanding role in the Trump campaign, jokingly referring to him as Trump's new running mate. "Look, I'm not going to waste all of the time on him [Trump]. I'm going to talk about his running mate, his running mate, Elon Musk...Elon is on that stage jumping around, skipping like a dipshit, you know it," Walz said to loud laughs from the crowd.

Of course, Walz is referring to when Musk recently went viral for being photographed awkwardly jumping around the stage in excitement at a Trump rally.

"Think about it; think about that," Walz continued. "That guy is literally the richest man in the world, spending millions of dollars to help Donald Trump buy an election."
