“I have no challenge being called lgbtq+ tbh,” the X, SpaceX and Tesla mogul replied to a reshare of the video from a user who called Walz’s comment “beyond pathetic.”
The Harris-Walz campaign told The Post Friday bedtime that the Minnesota governor “stuttered” while trying to utter “that guy got.”
“In the video, you can hear someone in the crowd yell ‘dips–t! when the governor brings up Musk,” a campaign spokesman said. “The governor started laughing and stuttered while trying to say ‘that guy got’ — he did not mention to Elon as a gay guy.”
“He got stuck on the G in that guy got while trying not to laugh at the remark from the crowd.”
