Minnesota Governor Tim Walz appeared to call Elon Musk a “gay guy” on the campaign trail … but the billionaire is brushing off the apparent gaffe.
Kamala Harris‘ running mate was giving a speech Friday in Detroit, Michigan when he started talking about Elon getting a big tax cut.
Walz appears to say … “If you’re a billionaire, Elon Musk for example, say. That guy, that gay guy got” before stopping himself and laughing … playing it off by saying, “Michigan knows that word.”
The crowd laughs too and then Walz changes the reference to Elon, saying … “That dude got a tax cut.”
Walz’s apparent flub is going viral on social media and lots of folks are convinced he meant to call Elon a “gay guy.”
Elon’s seen the clip, though he doesn’t have a big issue with it … posting on X, “I have no problem being called gay tbh.”
We reached out to the Harris-Walz campaign … so far no word back.
