Tim Walz cheers Tesla stock tumble, but Minnesota state employees' pension owns over 1M shares

In response to Walz's comments, Trump's Rapid Response team wrote in a social media post, "When we need a little boost during the day at the White House, we walk around the corner from our office and admire these beautiful portraits."

The post included portraits of Trump and Vice President JD Vance.

Trump also said Friday he views those committing crimes against Musk's company "as terrorists" and told reporters the crimes are "under very serious investigation."

Investor Kevin O'Leary called Walz's comments "beyond stupid" on CNN Thursday.

"That poor guy didn't check his portfolio and his own pension plan for the state," O'Leary said of Walz. "It's beyond stupid what he did.

"What's the matter with that guy?" he continued. "He doesn't check the well-being of his own constituents."

Walz is touring Republican-leaning districts across the U.S. and hosting town halls. 

His office did not respond to Fox News Digital's request for comment before publication.
