Twitter war of words: Elon Musk vs. Elizabeth Warren
On Monday, the day Elon Musk was named Time's Person of the Year, Senator Elizabeth Warren took to Twitter to comment on the tax code and its relationship with the CEO of $Tesla (TSLA.US)$ and SpaceX.
Mr. Musk responded with a string of tweets, saying that he will pay more taxes than any American in history this year. "Don't spend it all at once… oh wait you did already," he 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."
—— Mr. Musk said.
Elon Musk is the world's richest person with a net worth of $251 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, with the majority of that wealth tied up in Tesla and his rocket company, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. He also has a reputation for making eyebrow-raising statements on Twitter, where he has more than 66 million followers.
Musk is compensated in stock awards and doesn't accept a cash salary from Tesla. Last month, he initiated a poll on Twitter asking people whether he should sell 10% of his Tesla holdings, which voters backed. Click here to read more about Musk's ongoing stock selling plan

jdj74 : Seems to be a bait move...get him to respond so they can continue to drive the stocks down when they spin his response into something negative in the media outlets...sometimes silence is the best response. Never give someone the bullets to shot you with... just saying.
