Elon Musk, world’s richest edgelord, responds to billionaire tax with another stupid tweet
Musk is definitely not mad, in fact, he’s laughing
Is it fair that the world’s richest people pay so little in tax? That in a time of extreme inequality, those that have so much contribute so little in proportion to their vast wealth? These are the questions motivating US Democratic Senator Ron Wyden, who’s been calling for new taxes on billionaires.
Is it fair that the democracy I live in might have some demands of me? How can I prove that I’m super edgy and totally unfazed by the prospect of paying more tax? These are the questions apparently motivating Elon Musk, who replied to a tweet from Wyden by asking why the senator looks like he’s just orgasmed in his profile picture.
Musk’s crude tweet caps a particularly interesting weekend for the world’s richest man, who didn’t seem to get the answer he wanted when polling the internet on the issue of wealth
