Elon Musk doesn't miss an opportunity to respond in his own way, and this time the target was Tim Walz, the governor of Minnesota, who previously celebrated the drop in Tesla's stock. Musk sarcastically commented: "Hey Tim, how's your day going, buddy? 🤡", after Tesla's stock rose by 55% since that drop.
The response was a light yet resounding slap, showing how quickly the market can change, and reminding those who revel in a downfall that things should not be measured by a fleeting moment.
This incident is not just a spat between two public figures; it highlights the sometimes tense relationship between decision-makers and giant tech companies. Musk, known for his critical and sometimes political stances, is not afraid to confront politicians publicly, especially when it comes to his company Tesla, which many consider a symbol of innovation and boldness in the world of electric cars.
While Musk is sometimes accused of overstepping or mocking, the numbers speak for themselves now: a 55% increase that cannot be denied, and perhaps an implicit message that schadenfreude does not last; the market, however, is unforgiving and does not relent.
