Elon Musk is butthurt by Elizabeth Warren's remarks about him not paying taxes

TIME person of the year and richest man in the world Elon Musk took to Twitter on Tuesday to respond to Sen. Elizabeth Warren's critique of his tax-paying habits and push for policy changes.

"Let's change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else," Warren initially wrote on Twitter.

In his latest response, Musk wrote: "You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend's angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason." Warren is indeed a mother, as well as a Harvard Law School professor and leading progressive voice.

He did not mention anything about tax proposals. A recent ProPublica investigation found that the billionaire, who is currently worth over $250 billion, paid no federal income taxes in 2018. Policymakers like Warren have been pushing for new tax measures that would target the net worths and assets of billionaires like Musk, who are able to use perfectly legal methods to not be on the hook for federal income taxes.

Stop whining. Elizabeth Warren is a US Senator, professor, PhD — and oh yeah, also a Mom. She could spank you good.

He will pay more taxes in 2021...

Than any American in history.

That's the problem... he only pays taxes when he sells stock. He can go for years without paying a dime.

Of what I make every year. Why can't this "genius" figure out why we look at him like a free loader.

Those NASA checks he puts in his pocket come from me and you.
