Tim Walz, the government and vice presidential candidate of Minnesota, made a note that immediately caused a stir at a protest in Detroit, Michigan, on Friday that immediately caused outrage.
When he called Elon Musk” that gay guy,” he was talking about the impact of businessmen, which sparked a mix of applause and criticism both online and in the crowd.
” If you’re a billionaire—Elon Musk, for example, say—that man, that gay person … Michigan knows that phrase. Look, that man received a tax cut, Walz said, attempting to identify the financial benefits that billionaires like Musk have benefited from.
The post ignited a sociable media storm, with people expressing a range of ideas.
Some accused Walz of using “gay” as an attack, while others found laughter in the situation.
One consumer on X wrote,” So Democrats are using the term’ homosexual’ as an insult once, too”? Another added,” He’s obviously using” homosexual” as a insult. Anyone on the remaining going to criticize him for that?
Musk joined the conversation with a statement, stating,” I have no problem being called queer tbh”. Mussk’s answer downplayed any possible offense and gained the support of many people on social media who shared his views.
Earlier this year, Walz had even mocked Musk, referring to him as the “running partner” of Donald Trump. He criticized Musk’s appearance at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania, saying,” Elon’s on that level, jumping about, skipping like a dipsh*t”.
As of now, the Harris-Walz plan has not commented on Walz’s comments. Only 4 days before the US votes, the tragedy has added another layer of discussion.
