Musk with doubts Biden has access to Twitter account

While responding to a tweet made by Joe Biden’s twitter account claiming that “It’s about time the super-wealthy start paying their fair share” Elon responded with a jab claiming that Biden doesn’t have access to his own Twitter account.

While it’s clear Elon was dismayed by the tweet, as many, mostly democrats claim the billionaire Twitter owner does not pay his fair share of taxes, it’s also the same democrats who sign into law the same very tricks to evade taxes.

From 2014 to 2018, it has been reported that Elon Musk paid $455 million in taxes on $1.52 billion of income, according to a report from ProPublica. 

And in 2021 Elon Musk claimed he paid over $11 billion in taxes,

This would seem close to the CNBC estimate that Musk was set to pay a total of $12 billion in taxes in 2021.

Dr. Jordan B. Peterson joined the conversation saying that the Democrats’ definition of “super-wealthy” is “those who have more money than @JoeBiden.”

While others posted tried trolling by posting screenshots of the national debt clock.

Following his jab to the president, Elon went on to say:

“In all seriousness, I agree that we should make elaborate tax-avoidance schemes illegal, but acting upon that would upset a lot of donors, so we will see words, but no action,” Musk wrote.

“Those who will actually be forced to carry the burden of excess government spending are lower to middle-income wage earners, as they cannot escape payroll tax.”

Digging back to March 18th, President Biden tweeted that the average billionaire only pays 3%, which echoes the same message he put out this last weekend.

It’s funny to note that this tweet received a “Community Note” which is considered as Twitter’s version of a fact check.

Elon also claims in tweet aimed at the president that “I paid more income tax than anyone ever in the history of Earth for 2021 and will do that again in 2022,” Musk tweeted in response, adding that he also said he paid 53% taxes on his Tesla stock options, which “must be lifting the average.”

It is quite entertaining seeing these two go at it, but it’s even funnier knowing, as Elon also pointed out, that Biden probably doesn’t even control his Twitter, and he’s not aware of Musk tweeting at him.
