'Do that!': Tim Walz excited by The View plan to bait-and-switch Elon Musk

Gov. Tim Walz (D-MN) spoke to "The View" Monday and addressed a scandal involving billionaire Elon Musk that experts say is tantamount to his illegally paying people to vote.

Over the weekend, Musk said he'd give $1 million a day to a randomly selected voter who signs his PAC's petition — but they needed to live in a swing state. Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro (D) was one who immediately called for a law enforcement investigation.

"People keep trying to buy the election," said Whoopi Goldberg, describing Musk's petition and pledge.

"And I thought that was against the law, but apparently, they've found some new loop stuff that allowed this to go on. I thought you couldn't do this. What's happening?" she asked.

Walz said that he thinks it is indicative of candidates who don't have any real plans for the future.

"When you have no economic plan that's going to benefit the middle class, when you have no plan to protect reproductive rights, when you have no plan to address climate change and produce American energy. You go to these types of tactics," said Walz. "It's all about the strategy."

Ana Navarro, a former Republican strategist, recalled the laws passed in Georgia that prevented people from offering water to those in line to vote, but Musk could apparently hand out million-dollar checks.

"They're signing a petition. You're technically not buying the vote. There's nothing that can stop people from signing the petition and then voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz," said Navarro.

"Do that. Do that!" laughed Walz.

"But make sure — make sure you're not putting yourself in a trick bag where they say, oh, by the way, you didn't read this little tiny print?" Goldberg cautioned. "Don't sign, Jack, until you know what you're signing and how it's going to affect you."

Walz also slammed Trump for posing as a working-class American.

"Vice President Harris and I grew up middle class. We understand that. She actually worked in a McDonald's. She didn't go and pander and disrespect McDonald's workers by standing there in your red tie and taking a picture," said Walz, referring to Trump campaign stop at the fast food restaurant at the weekend.

"His policies undermine those very workers who were in McDonald's."
