This is such a deeply messed up lie to the American people. She is the one freeloading off taxpayers, while I’m paying the largest amount of tax of any individual in history.
Is @SenWarren really someone we want as a US senator?

Elon Musk’s Encounters with Politicians
Earlier this week, the Tech CEO responded to allegations leveled against him after a Massachusetts senator expressed her displeasure with Musk on the social media network Twitter. In this section, the CEO defended his honor in response to Senator Warren’s statement about him supposedly being a freeloader of the country by not paying the right taxes and defying the law.
The 2021 TIME Person of the Year had run-ins with various politicians over his career, which has made him a household figure in the world of taxes and billionaires. Senator Bernie Sanders of Vancouver originally chastised him over his taxes, to which the CEO responded by stating that he pays his taxes accurately and on time.
Elon Musk’s top billionaire status has made him a legendary name for supposedly not paying the correct taxes he owes, although he continually asserts that he already pays the most substantial owing when compared to other billionaires. Senator Warren’s tweet intends to disseminate information about her thoughts on Elon Musk, helping to shape public opinion against him.
