Let’s hope Walz and his Glorious Trifecta are politically damaged so severely that they are unceremoniously stuffed down the vile hole they crawled out of.

Elon Musk Targets Tim Walz, Suggests Lawsuit Over ‘Nazi Salute’ Claim
Elon Musk is considering legal action against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the failed vice presidential candidate claimed on national television that Musk made a Nazi salute. The X owner responded to Walz’s comments on social media Wednesday, calling the Democrat “creepy” and hinting at a defamation lawsuit.
The controversy began after Walz appeared on MSNBC’s “The Rachel Maddow Show,” where he brought up the claim that Musk performed the gesture at President Donald Trump’s inauguration rally. “Of course he did,” Walz insisted, keeping alive a debunked narrative that had already been dismissed by figures including Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
After filmmaker Robby Starbuck shared a clip of Walz’s comments and suggested Musk should sue him, Musk replied, “I think I will.” He followed up by referring to Walz as a “creepy” clown emoji. The billionaire later suggested he may also take legal action against MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, who previously suggested Musk’s gesture resembled a “Roman salute.”
The claim against Musk stems from a moment at Trump’s inauguration rally where he tapped his chest twice and extended his right arm. Left-wing critics immediately latched onto the image, accusing him of making a Nazi gesture. Defenders, including Netanyahu, dismissed the accusations as politically motivated smears.
Musk, who spent $277 million supporting Trump and Republicans in the 2024 election, has increasingly become a target for Democrats and liberal media outlets. Walz, who ran as Kamala Harris’ vice presidential pick, has continued attacking Trump and his allies after their landslide loss in November.
Walz’s office has not responded to Musk’s legal threats, and neither he nor MSNBC have issued statements regarding the controversy. Meanwhile, Musk remains the wealthiest person in the world, with Bloomberg’s Billionaires Index estimating his fortune at $428 billion.

If Elon sues him into oblivion the Minnesota taxpayers are the ones who will foot the bill and we will still be stuck with that leech on our ass.
I'd sooner see Elon pay for a private investigation into Timmy's ties with China. I don't think it would take much deep digging to discover his playing footsie with the Chi-Coms while a member of the national guard crosses way over the line and would be enough to imprison him.

IDK, wouldn't it be a personal lawsuit vs sueing Gov Tim Walz?

It would be presented as that but that weasel would find a way to get his fingers in the coffers to pay for it. I doubt the DNC would help him out as he is an abject failure and poison to them now. No way he pays for it personally. I don't know if a "citizen" such as Musk could fund his own investigation on China Tim and then turn his findings over to the FBI once Kash is in control but if it's at all possible it should be done. It would be money better spent.

He has put himself in quite a bind. He almost has to run for a third term as Governor or he falls off the map for two years before he even has a chance at a cabinet position, etc. That assumes a D win in the White House. There is no R Senator to challenge in MN, so unless he kneecaps one of his own party (could happen), he's about done with this game. Meanwhile, he is faced with a pending budget deficit and a tied MN House that is in no mood to cooperate with him. I love it!

All true but I think Jensen beat him last time but the fix was in. I know that's cliche and overused but it's a fact much of the time in Minnesota. I said after the riots there was no way he gets reelected. I figured all those white liberal upper middle class suburbanites in south Minneapolis would abandon him once they could see the flames, smell the smoke and hear the riots. I always lean towards giving the voters more credit and lean more towards cheating is more prevalent than we want to admit.

It's always easy for us to say how can those other people be so stupid to keep voting for this or that person when in fact we do not know who or how many voted which way. Gives perfect cover for those who count the votes.

Lawfare may be the only way to turn the tide on these mouthy cretins. Even if they never go to trial, having to deal with them, endlessly, might stop some of the more ridiculous claims or even shut them up.

When I do venture into the Metro area, I'm still surprised by the number of people wearing masks, so I really don't have a reliable sense of just how liberal it is down there. Your point is correct though. With the numbers concentrated in a few counties, it's easier to pull off shenanigans than if you had to do it statewide.
