“Shark Tank” personality and investor Kevin O’Leary appeared on CNN Wednesday night and discussed Minnesota Democratic Governor Tim Walz celebrating Tesla stock going down.
“There’s this thing on my phone, I know some of you know this, on the iPhone. They’ve got that little stock app,” Walz said at an event Tuesday evening in a clip he posted on X.
“I added Tesla to it to give me a little boost during the day,” Walz said as the crowd erupted in laughter. “225 and dropping!” he exclaimed.
Walz, the former vice presidential candidate, neglected to mention that as recently as last summer, Minnesota had 1.6 million shares of Tesla in its retirement fund and 211,000 shares of Tesla in its non-retirement fund.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk responded with a jab of his own, writing, “Sometimes when I need a little boost, I look at the @JDVance portrait in the @WhiteHouse and thank the Lord,” alongside a praying hands emoji.
Tesla stock is currently down 34.6% compared to last month. There has been a concerted effort by the Left to attack Musk and to vandalize Tesla vehicles in public.
“They’re criminal!” O’Leary said of what’s been going on. “That poor guy didn’t check his portfolio and his own pension plan for state,” he said when host Abby Phillip mentioned Walz’s glee over Tesla stock dropping. “It’s beyond stupid what he did… He doesn’t check the wellbeing of his own constituency? That’s their investment fund, what a bozo!”

O’Leary appeared on “CNN NewsNight” to debate Angela Rye, former executive director and general counsel to the Congressional Black Caucus. She argued that Musk’s donations were criminal.
“[Musk] literally says thank you to the members who introduce articles of impeachment,” Rye said. “That is an exchange of value. That is a violation.”
“The oldest profession on Earth is not prostitution — it’s politicians raising money,” O’Leary shot back.
“That has happened from the beginning of time. That’s going on forever, and will continue forever,” he continued. “This issue around judges, this is pure politics … No laws have been broken. You don’t like it? Too bad.”
Walz’s followers were also confused as to why he would root for an American company to fail even if he disagreed with the CEO politically.
“What is wrong with you,” one person replied. “You’re actively rooting for an innovative American company to fail? The cars are American made and literally drive themselves.”
“You are a disgrace. I worked at Tesla for over 4 years. I know many who still work there. Tesla is one of America’s crown jewels, and you actively want it to fail,” another commenter wrote. “You should be ashamed of yourself. You don’t deserve to be anywhere near public service.”
