Veteran netizen Musk has opened a new round of "scolding war" on Twitter, this time against Massachusetts Senator Elizabeth Warren.
Musk also choked Warren back, saying that she looked like a yelling, tantrum-throwing mother...
Netizens who do not understand the background are confused about this melon: how did Musk get involved with this female congresswoman?
Musk tweeted "Big War" Senator Warren
On Monday, Musk was named "Person of the Year" by Time magazine, but was attacked by Warren.
Warren believes that Musk does not pay taxes and is a prostitute. Warren tweeted:
Let's change the rigged tax code so that the man of the year can really pay his taxes and no longer be a prostitute from other people.
She also shared a new Cover of Time magazine produced by the Americans for Tax Fairness.
On the cover is a photo of Musk with the caption "TAX ME" (Tax Me) next to it:
Musk paid zero federal income taxes in 2018, his average effective tax rate was only 3.27%, and his wealth exploded by $240 billion during the pandemic, most of which will be tax-free.
Musk is also not a fuel-efficient lamp. In the face of such attacks, of course, you will not choose to swallow your anger, and your backhand will respond on Twitter:
You remind me of when I was a kid, my friend's mom yelled at everyone for no reason when she got angry.
Musk also responded on another Tweet:
If you open your eyes, I'm going to pay more taxes this year than any American in history.
Musk may pay tens of billions of dollars in taxes this year
According to real-time data from Bloomberg billionaires, Musk is the richest man in the world, with a net worth of $255 billion.
Warren has long been a staunch supporter of wealth taxes, pushing for new tax measures aimed at billionaires like Musk. So it is only a matter of time before Musk is targeted.
This is probably the annoyance of being too rich.
Separately, Musk has sold nearly $13 billion worth of Tesla stock since October, and he is subject to taxes on the shares sold.
Musk will have to pay at least $7.6 billion in taxes in 2021, a figure that could reach as high as $15 billion, depending on how many more shares he sells this year.
If Democrats succeed in passing a new tax law targeting billionaires, Musk could be required to pay up to $50 billion in taxes over the first 5 years
