"Don't spend it all at once … oh wait you did already."

If Musk keeps this up, I will have to consider buying a Tesla.

My sister is named Karen. I am offended on her behalf. Mr. Musk can make up for his offense in any number of ways.

Well, I guess Warren is too stupid to realize that Musk has a simply huge army of fans. Insulting him is self-defeating. But then Fauxcohontas has always been a socialist moron.

re: “”Please don’t call the manager on me, Senator Karen.” “

The only response I can think of:

“Gold, Jerry! Comedy Gold!”

$12B in taxes?

Imagine what he could have done if that money was invested, not pissed away by the likes of Warren and Sanders, two useless morons who have never accomplished anything except pointing fingers at everyone else who has.

SpaceX was the result of a $200M investment and Tesla even less. By ruthless risk taking and attention to detail he went where other companies dared not go: rockets that were recoverable and cool cars that ran on electricity and weren’t overpriced golf carts.

THAT’S where his money came from. Did he get subsidies along the way? Yeah. So what. Anyone could if they took the same risk. SpaceX and Tesla have damn near gone bankrupt multiple times. They run on the edge.

The two screaming clowns?

They just demand that taxpayers feed them, no risk.

He might pay the most but it’s not enough for the libs. I think they want at least 70% of everyone’s income.

How is that obnoxious?

If Congress was paid what it is worth, they would all be living in cardboard boxes and under bridges.

"And if you opened your eyes for 2 seconds, you would realize I will pay more taxes than any American in history this year," continued Musk. "Don't spend it all at once … oh wait you did already."

Say what you want, I love this guy!

A Senator/Congresscritter calling a private citizen that provides thousands of high paying jobs, a freeloader? Come again.....

He sold billions of dollars in shares just to make a point that if they raise tax rates on long term gains people like him will cash out sooner to pay less now than they would have to pay in the future. He’s not just a paper billionaire. He’s got cash.

“Elon Musk: ‘I Will Pay the Most Taxes of Any American In History’”

Point here...it is never enough with the liberals so the statement is redundant.

Fauxcohontas’s mistake was engaging in a battle of wits with Elon Musk and coming to the fight unarmed.

Humorous how casually an African-Canadian-American multi-billionaire (and self-confessed socialist) tosses around the term “American.”

“ Obnoxious, but likely correct”

Unlike libtards and their media circle jerks that are obnoxious and WRONG at the same time 🤪

US tax policy is truly racist.

As the world's richest person, the US is clearly targeting the African-American Elon Musk for excess taxation, on the basis of his race.

Uh, high taxes go along with high growth and income. You can’t make a hundred billion in one year on paper and not expect to pay a pot load of taxes. His options alone are tens of millions.

I haven’t smoked marijuana in decades but if Elon passed me a hooter I’d gladly accept it and consider it an honor.
