**Musk and Minnesota Governor Trade Barbs Over Trump Support**

In the midst of a series of appearances at Donald Trump's campaign events, Elon Musk has found himself embroiled in a public spat with Minnesota Governor Tim Walz. The feud began after Walz, the Democratic Vice Presidential nominee, pointed out Musk’s enthusiastic onstage behavior at Trump rallies, describing it with a colorful choice of words.

Musk, the Tesla and SpaceX CEO, quickly retaliated on social media. He posted a meme of Governor Walz's face with the caption "Who am I, Why am I here," and further mocked Walz by comparing him to a clown emoji come to life. Musk's swift defense of Trump highlights the deepening involvement of the tech mogul in the political fray.

The altercation escalated when Walz scrutinized Musk's substantial contributions to Trump’s campaign. Musk donated $75 million through a newly established Political Action Committee (PAC), of which he is the sole contributor. This donation includes distributing $1 million checks as part of a lottery for those who sign his PAC's petition, a move that some experts criticize as potentially illegal vote buying.

Walz didn't hold back, emphasizing Musk's immense wealth and accusing him of attempting to influence the election in Trump's favor. He also reminded the public of Trump’s past suggestion of offering Musk a cabinet position if he were to win the election—a claim Trump later walked back, likely due to the potential for conflicts of interest.

Governor Walz argued that Trump's promise of a position for Musk, who owns multiple businesses, is tantamount to promising corruption. Walz expressed skepticism about Trump’s commitments but asserted confidence in Trump fulfilling this particular promise. The exchange underscores the tensions and high stakes involved as the election approaches.
