White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt slammed Governor Tim Walz after he celebrated Tesla stock falling as its CEO Elon Musk comes under fire for DOGE.

On Tuesday, the Minnesota governor and Kamala Harris’ former running mate said that he frequently checks Tesla stock to give him a ‘boost’ during the day.

The company stock has been on the decline since the start of the Trump administration as Musk’s DOGE moves to slash spending and workers.

Leavitt was asked at the White House press briefing on Wednesday about Walz’ comment.

‘I think that’s quite sad,’ Leavitt said in response.

‘I think that Governor Walz unfortunately is living a sad existence after his devastating defeat on November 5th,’ she added.
