Elon Musk, Bernie Sanders, taxes for the rich and why the billionaire got into trouble with the senator on Twitter

We know a lot about Elon Musk, and one of them is that he says exactly what he thinks. And it doesn’t matter if someone can offend him or not.

Musk kept his word

But did he really do it for the people


Maybe he can afford it because he’s a billionaire. Or maybe he just doesn’t really care. But Musk reminded himself again on Twitter, of course. The CEO of Tesla and SpaceX decided to mess with the senator Bernie Sanders, who is independent, but most often his views overlap with those of the Democrats.

The reason for this was a tweet from 80-year-old Sanders, who argued that people should continue to insist that the rich pay higher taxes. Or as he puts it – “his fair share”.

And Musk’s reaction was not long in coming, as he wrote that he kept forgetting that the senator was still alive. But because he didn’t get an answer, the avalanche of tweets in his style continued.

Elon Musk spoke directly to Sanders, saying, “Do you want me to sell more shares, Bernie? Just say so.” As a hint from Musk’s camp comes after he sold his shares in the company in recent weeks worth about $ 7 billion. Which in turn caused a drop in the share price by as much as 15%.

The dispute between the billionaire and the government is not from yesterday, because there are disputes about whether very rich people should pay more. CNBC recalls that last year and this year Elon Musk moved both Tesla’s headquarters from California to Texas and the company’s factory.

At the time, he pointed to lighter measures against COVID-19 in Texas, but in fact the move saved him millions in taxes.
