Minnesota Governor Tim Walz recently criticized tech billionaire Elon Musk for his pledge to give away $1 million daily to registered voters in battleground states. Walz accused Musk of engaging in tactics to sway voters towards supporting former President Donald Trump rather than addressing critical issues facing the public.

During an interview on ABC's 'The View,' Walz expressed concerns about Musk's actions, suggesting that they stem from a lack of a comprehensive plan for the public. He highlighted the absence of economic strategies benefiting the middle class, plans to protect reproductive rights, and initiatives to combat climate change and promote American energy production.

Walz contrasted Vice President Kamala Harris' vision with that of Trump, portraying the former president as dangerous and unfit for office. He criticized Trump for his past remarks about using the military against political opponents and emphasized Harris' focus on creating an 'opportunity economy.'

As the election approaches, Walz emphasized the importance of voters making informed decisions. He described Trump as 'spiraling down' and 'unhinged,' suggesting that the final days leading up to the election are crucial for voters to assess the candidates' platforms.

Elon Musk's voter giveaway initiative has drawn scrutiny from election law experts, with questions raised about its legality. Musk, who has endorsed Trump and contributed significant funds to pro-Trump causes, has faced criticism for his involvement in political activities.
