Tim Walz called Elon Musk “gay” on Friday — but the Harris-Walz campaign claimed the Democratic vice presidential nominee misspoke, leading to the inadvertent comment.

“That guy, that gay guy,” Walz said of Musk while talking about taxes on the campaign trail in Michigan.

While the remark drew swift backlash on social media, Musk — who has become a vocal supporter of Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump — brushed it off.

“I have no problem being called gay 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 night that the Minnesota governor “stuttered” while trying to say “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 refer 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.”
