Good info and tweet! Sometimes it amazes me a public figure like Warren will post something without knowing the facts.
Maybe she's been on the Michelob Ultra again
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

What makes you think she doesn’t know the facts? Why should that matter?

Just knowingly propagating a dishonest narrative that she’s convinced herself, over a lifetime of social climbing, is a righteous and good one. Meanwhile it has always been entirely in service of her own personal social status, but that’s at a level she is unaware of. Standard human fare. Robotic in its predictability.

Good lord, the man is going to convince me to buy a Tesla at this rate.
I thought we reached peak silliness about a decade ago.
How wrong I was.

She’s just lying and demonizing a fine citizen, It’s time for her to go away.
And she must know she’s lying. She claimed this earlier and he replied that he would be paying more federal taxes in 2021 than any other American citizen in our entire history. When a guy with 54MM followers tweets back at her, her entire staff would know about it in minutes.

In the video in the tweet two posts before this one, Warren specifically mentioned the tax year 2018 as the year Musk (and Bezo) paid zero income tax. That doesn’t change even if, for tax year 2021, Musk pays a large amount in income tax, no?

No.
He takes only the required salary from Tesla that California requires - minimum wage. He pays negligible tax, if any, on that.
Now, dividends, etc....

For the uninitiated: Musk, like many ultra-wealthy heads of companies, doesn't receive a paycheck like regular people. When you see headlines about his net worth topping $300 billion, it's fun to imagine him diving into a vault of gold coins, a la Scrooge McDuck. But that eye-popping number refers mostly to Musk's equity stake in Tesla, his trillion-dollar electric vehicle company.
Taxes, not Twitter, are the real reason Elon Musk might sell some Tesla shares
In fact, Musk rarely misses a chance to remind us that he does not take a cash salary or bonus. "I only have stock, thus the only way for me to pay taxes personally is to sell stock," he tweeted over the weekend.Of course, everyone one's gotta eat. So how's a gazillionaire supposed to get a bagel and cup of coffee these days? Or ... a yacht?
Credit, mostly. Musk and other uber-wealthy folks borrow substantially from banks, using their stock or other assets as collateral.
But Lyin' Liz doesn't mention that.

The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

How is Liz “lying” for not mentioning Musk’s 2021 taxes?
When one says “two days ago it was not raining”, one does not then also be lying if one does not mention that it rains two days later, no?
