BREAKING NEWS: Tesla Hits $1,120,000,000,000 After Spectacular 45% Surge — Elon Musk Turns This Victory Into a Public Attack on Tim Walz | HO

It’s news that is shaking both Wall Street and the American political scene: Tesla has just crossed the $1.12 trillion market capitalization mark after a stunning 45% jump in just a few weeks. But what could have simply been an economic celebration quickly turned into a scathing public attack by Elon Musk against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz.

The visionary CEO of Tesla and SpaceX not only celebrated this historic financial milestone but also took the opportunity to settle political scores in public, in a style now emblematic of his positions on social media.

A Historic Stock Market Performance

Since the beginning of the quarter, Tesla’s stock has soared, surpassing all financial analysts’ predictions. This rebound is attributed to rising demand for electric vehicles, reduced production costs thanks to new Gigafactories in India and Mexico, and a surge in sales of the Cybertruck and Model Y in Asian and European markets.

With this 45% increase, Tesla joins the ultra-select club of companies valued at over $1 trillion, alongside Apple, Microsoft, and Amazon. This performance once again reinforces Elon Musk’s position as one of the most powerful and influential men in the world, both in technology and in the political sphere.

A Forceful Statement Against Tim Walz

But instead of simply thanking his teams or investors, Musk used Tesla’s spectacular rise as a political platform. In a post on X (formerly Twitter), he declared:

“While we are building the future, some politicians like Tim Walz are too busy blocking innovation and driving businesses away with their absurd policies.”

This message, accompanied by a graph showing Tesla’s stock growth compared to Minnesota’s economic stagnation, quickly set social media ablaze.

For several months, Musk has criticized Tim Walz — the Democratic governor of Minnesota — for a series of environmental regulations deemed too restrictive, tax measures unfavorable to tech companies, and a lack of support for establishing Tesla infrastructure in the state.

An Old Conflict, Rekindled by Success

This is not the first time Elon Musk and Tim Walz have clashed publicly. Back in 2023, Musk tried to open a lithium battery factory near Duluth, a project that was blocked by local environmental standards. At the time, Walz stated:

“We welcome innovation, but not at the expense of our lakes, our clean air, and the health of our citizens.”

Musk then called this stance “backward” and “hostile to the future.” This week’s public attack is thus yet another episode in an increasingly heated rivalry between an iconoclastic entrepreneur and a Democratic governor who advocates for strict environmental values.

A Chain Reaction

Musk’s statement immediately divided public opinion. Fans of the billionaire applauded his outspokenness and fierce defense of innovation, while others criticized his use of economic notoriety to influence local politics.

Tim Walz, for his part, responded in a measured manner in a statement:

“We congratulate Tesla on its financial success. But we will never compromise the health and safety of Minnesota residents to satisfy the private interests of any company, no matter how successful.”

Political analysts note that Musk is increasingly positioning himself as an anti-establishment figure, regularly flirting with libertarian ideas, criticizing public institutions, and openly challenging traditional political figures.

An Influence Beyond Finance

Tesla’s success thus marks not only an economic victory but also an ideological and political rise for its founder. Elon Musk shows that he is capable of using his companies as levers to weigh in on public debate, even shaping the American political agenda.

While some praise his boldness and willingness to shake up the status quo, others worry about the growing power of a man who does not hesitate to use his fortune and fanbase to publicly attack those who oppose his vision of the future.
