Tim Walz , Minnesota governor and Democratic vice-presidential candidate, said Elon Musk ’s plan to give away $1m per day in support of Donald Trump is a reflection of a ticket with “no plan”. Experts have questioned whether the plan is legal or, in effect, buying votes . “Well, I think that’s what you do when you have no plan for the public,” said Walz, when asked about the giveaway on ABC’s The View, a daytime talk show. “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. As to whether Musk’s strategy was legal, Walz said: “I’ll let the lawyers decide.”This is the second time the Democratic presidential ticket has appeared on The View talk show in recent weeks.
