Elon Musk slams Bernie for demanding wealthy pay 'fair share’: 'You're still alive'

Tesla CEO Elon Musk hit back at Sen. Bernie Sanders with a devastating response to his demands that the wealthy “pay their fair share."

Tesla CEO Elon Musk brushed off Sen. Bernie Sanders's demands that the wealthy "pay their fair share" in his latest back-and-forth with the self-described democratic socialist.
"I keep forgetting that you’re still alive," Musk tweeted at Sanders Sunday morning.
The tweet came in response to Sanders saying on Twitter Saturday that, "We must demand that the extremely wealthy pay their fair share. Period."
Musk has a net worth of about $294 billion.

Exactly what is Elon's "fair share"? Did he not pay any tax while accumulating that $300B? Let's say he just says fuck it, writes a check for the whole fuckin amount and spends the rest of his life in a card board box under Interstate 35. This government would piss that money away before the fuckin ink was dry. These ass fucking political whores waste on average $4T dollars a year, not counting the DEMPANIC, and since "The War on Poverty" have dumped...

What is it now?

$50 TRILLION GODDAMNED DOLLARS INTO "eliminating poverty" and what is the result? Literally the same 14% poverty, more homeless people than you can count, the cities are in ruins and crime has exploded.

Except that our people who live in "poverty" other that the homeless have SUV's, TV's, HVAC, designer clothes, cell phones and are so fuckin fat they ride scooters while wasting food stamps on carts full of Doritos, Oreo's and Soda.

Go to places like the Philippines and see some poverty that will give you nightmares.

Even some of these homeless people we have are living better than 3rd world people with jobs.

Now I'm not an Elon Musk sycophant, he made a lot of money because of the climate hoax, and fuck tons of government waste that bought his stupid electric cars. Yet he turned that into some pretty incredible shit. You've got to give the guy some credit. He's also not sucking up to leftist parasites, in fact he seems pretty libertarian IMO.

That might be the weakest thing I've ever seen him say.

Elon, like Bezos, Zuckerfuck and the other billionaires pay almost nothing in income taxes. This is old news but somehow it never reaches the minds of some Americans.

Bernie stopped complaining about millionaires ever since he became one. It's just billionaires he doesn't like now.

It’s way past time the billionaires paid huge income taxes but since wealth means political power in our corrupt crony capitalist system, it won’t ever happen. Sad no?

There is nothing more absurd that the Left's multi-millionaire Marxists.
The truth is that in Left Wing economics the middle class are the government's tax slaves.
Sanders has always been a mental case.
Democrats don't lift the poor, they crush the middle class.
We are seeing it happen right now under Biden, Pelosi, Schumer.....

How about at least 10%? That's about half the rate of what middle class pays.

Doesn't seem unreasonable to me.

You really have to love the whole crazy thing. Congress wrote the laws that keep certain taxes from being paid because they did not want to pay taxes.
To think you can tax anyone and it not affect prices is absurd in the lack of actual thought. If a person Or company is taxed more rather then shrug and go on they increase prices. They loose nothing but everyone else looses because they are paying higher prices.
To say the least Bernie has always proven that he has no clear thoughts but he sure can talk and convince enough that he has some hidden idea. So he keeps getting elected.

In 2018, Sanders’ adjusted gross income was $561,293. He paid a 26 percent effective tax rate on that adjusted gross income

Yes, in typical Democratic fashion. They want someone else to foot the bill for their economic irresponsibility.

Lol. The more companies you have the more diversified you are the more you get to claim different tax breaks.

If you really think that congress critters are declaring every palm greasing you need to take off the blindfold

You really can not seriously believe that Musk wrote the tax code.
All he is doing is taking every deduction that he is allowed under the law. The fact is congress wrote the laws to help themselves and those that paid them for favors.
if you can keep an extra hundred dollars each month by claiming you walked a mile I have no doubt you would claim it even if it was not true

"I keep forgetting that you’re still alive"

America would be way better off if the old communist were not alive

Fine with me. Just as long as he takes his followers with him.

Nope, it's not about deductions, it's about the loopholes available to mega rich like Musk, not Congressmen usually.

He doesn't take salary, he keeps stock and takes loans from his companies to pay for his expenses, which is not taxed.

Basically problem comes down to how flexible the super rich are with the types of assets they hold and earn. It's not simple to tax them, but if there is a will, there is absolutely a way.

Bullshit, Bernie pays reasonable taxes on his income.

 

[SweetTea]

Bullshit, Bernie pays reasonable taxes on his income.

But he is "rich." I thought they didn't pay their fair share? What separates him from the rest?

Dummy it's not a binary proposition.

Just because Bernie feels that rich like him should pay a little more, doesn't mean that super wealthy like Musk paying almost no taxes is not a problem in it's own right.
