Shares of the American carmaker Tesla continue to fall, from a high of over 1,240 dollars, where they found themselves at the beginning of November, they have already depreciated by about 20 percent. According to analysts, in addition to Musk’s planned sale of the company’s shares, his tweets, in which Musk spoke indiscriminately at the address of left-wing senator Bernie Sanders, also contributed to this. The cause was taxes.

In recent days, Musk sold the carmaker’s shares for a total of $ 6.9 billion (153 billion crowns), to which the shares responded with a decline. However, experts are already linking their further decline to a tweet shootout last weekend, when left-wing Senator Sanders remarked that rich people should pay their fair share of taxes. Musk is the richest man in the world.
“We must demand that the extremely rich pay their fair share. Dot, “wrote Sanders, 80, on Twitter. Musk responded with a mocking remark when he wrote, “I still forget you’re still alive.” He then added, “Do you want me to sell more shares, Bernie? Come on, say it. “
Sanders wrote his original tweet in a situation where the administration of US President Joe Biden, elected for the Democratic Party, is trying to push through tax increases for the richest Americans.
