Sen. Elizabeth Warren just made the mistake of going after Tesla CEO and eccentric billionaire Elon Musk. He promptly destroyed her in response.
The conflict began when the progressive politician and “tax the rich” crusader tweeted out a Boston Globe news article about Musk being named Time Magazine Person of the Year for 2021.
“Let’s change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else,” the senator wrote. (Warren is likely referencing illegally leaked IRS files that show Musk paid no federal income taxes in 2018 through legal tax minimization strategies and the fact that almost all of his wealth does not derive from traditional income — he pays a lot in other taxes.)
The irony of a career politician, who subsists off the taxpayer dime, decrying a wildly successful entrepreneur who has created countless jobs and innovations as a “freeloader” was simply too much for Musk to resist. With intoxicating levels of chaos energy and internet meme-lordery key parts of his persona, Musk is not one to take a slight lying down.

They got different training than the ones in Afghanistan?
And they pay for the ads with the money left over from bribing the members of the tax-writing committees.
Warren is a kook’s kook. Fitting for an elected official in Massachusetts who gave us Barney Frank & Ted Kennedy
Yup.
Elon Musk is the smartest African-American ever! 🤣
Sleazy headlines afflict both sides of the media. I HATE reading that ridiculous “destroyed” BS! You are right, no one is destroyed.
But did I delight in Musk calling that nag “Senator Karen”? Yeppers!
.........lol, if you want to see just one of Elon’s projects and are ever in Austin drive south on State Highway 130 from US 290 a few miles and you will see what surely must be the hugest building in Central Texas under construction. It must be a mile long and is intended, I think, to be the building he builds EV’s in.
Be careful on State Highway 130, the speed limit is 80 mph. God Blessed Texas!
If she had any shame, that would leave a huge mark.
“You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend’s angry Mom would just randomly yell at everybody for no reason,” Musk continued. “Please don’t call the manager on me, Senator Karen.”
Indeed he’s not one to take a slight lying down he has Trump style A+ for him.
Thank you for posting this.
What is ironic about Warren saying that Musk doesn't pay taxes, is that Musk paid more taxes this year than any other American in U.S.A. history. He gets taxed at 53 percent on regular income, and paid more than $12 billion dollars in tax so far this year. That's a big chunk of change the gov't is stealing from him.
Update: So far, Musk paid $15 billion in combined state and federal taxes this year, a combined rate of about 54.1%. More than any American in history.
I’m not going to argue about that. But the subject is Squealin’. And again - it’s not that big a deal to me. To support what I’m saying I would have to be able to access posts on a site where I deleted my account years ago!
He destroyed her. Every single last thing about her is fake.
