Twitter wouldn’t be what it is if there weren’t the entertaining socialists and people who work for a living.
In one Tweet, the millionaire communist Sen. Bernie Sanders criticized Elon Musk.

Of course, his response was brilliant:
I keep forgetting that you’re still alive

Fox News covered this story:
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.”
The two have previously sparred over taxes on Twitter, included in March when Sanders said Musk should “focus on Earth” instead of space travel and figuring out “a progressive tax system.”
Musk, who also owns the aerospace company SpaceX, tweeted a couple of days later that he is using his wealth to get humanity to explore space.
If you don’t want an argument, don’t fight with Musk. What did Sanders mean with ‘’pay their fair share?’’
He is a multimillionaire!
ABC News reported:
Sanders reported an adjusted gross income of nearly $561,293 and paid $145,840, a 26% effective rate, in 2018, the documents show. In 2016 and 2017, Sanders reported earning $1.06 million and $1.13 million in adjusted gross income and paid at a 35% and 30% effective rate, respectively.
Sanders reported earning over $850,000 as an author in 2017 and nearly $800,000 as an author in 2016.
His millionaire status, paired with decades of avid criticism of the millionaire and billionaire class, sets him up for scrutiny in a crowded field of Democrats running for the 2020 nomination.
It seems that he stopped using the millionaire term precisely because of that and replaced it with ultra-wealthy.
Bernie, what happens when you become a billionaire?
It is ironic how little Bernie contributes from his wealth towards charity.
NPR stated that senator Bernie Sanders and his wife donated 4% of their income to charity.
Musk has many donations annually, and the money surpasses the 100 million mark.

The difference between you and Bernie is when he dies, he'll be remembered.

Musk is taking on @BernieSanders with insults for proposing that billionaires pay a fair tax. I know whose side I’m on. Let’s unite with Bernie and other progressives across our countries for a global wealth tax that billionaires can’t avoid. https://t.co/U5PbA2UVVD

What will Barney target next? Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.?
The left’s hypocrisy doesn’t have an end!
Looks like Bernie is forgetting this, SpaceX has saved tax payers BILLIONS of dollars by providing cheaper access to Space for NASA and the US government. It has also put the Russians and EU space programs on life support.

Perhaps one of the reasons Bernie Sanders goes after @elonmusk instead of Walmart, which has the highest number of employees using SNAP is because Walmart is a campaign donor of Bernies and Elon isn't.
Walmart donated $271,790. Elon $0. https://t.co/nvPS6K4Xny

These people will say anything that will provide them with more money and more power!
It’s all just the same meanwhile, Newsom’s daughter isn’t vaccinated, Bernie is a multimillionaire, and Elizabeth Warren donates less than 2% of her income to charity.
