'Don't call the manager on me': Elon Musk brands Elizabeth Warren 'Senator Karen' after progressive accused world's richest man of 'freeloading' and not paying tax

 Elon Musk called US Sen. Elizabeth Warren a 'Karen' after she said the Tesla CEO and richest man in the world should pay taxes. 

Musk, who was named Time Magazine's 2021 Person of the Year, went after Warren on Twitter after the Massachusetts senator retweeted an article about his recent honor, writing 'Let's change the rigged tax code so The Person of the Year will actually pay taxes and stop freeloading off everyone else.'

Musk hit back by writing, 'Stop projecting,' linking to a Fox News opinion article claiming Warren lied about having Native American heritage to benefit from affirmative action.  

'You remind me of when I was a kid and my friend's angry Mom would just randomly yell at everyone for no reason,' Musk continued.

'Please don't call the manager on me, Senator Karen.'

It's also not the first time the billionaire has slammed politicians critical of his wealth and alleged exploitation of tax loopholes to pay little or no taxes at all.

Last month, Musk mocked Sen. Bernie Sanders who called on the nation’s ‘extremely wealthy’ to pony up more cash in a tweet, drawing the attention of Musk, who had sold more than $5 billion of his Tesla stake.

Musk did so after launching a Twitter poll that guided him toward selling $25 billion in stock to fund President Joe Biden’s proposed billionaire tax.

Musk, responding to Sanders’ demands, indicated he wouldn’t draw the line there.

‘I keep forgetting that you’re still alive,’ Musk, the world’s richest man, tweeted at the senator.

‘Want me to sell more stock, Bernie? Just say the word …’

He also attacked Democratic Sen. Ron Wyden, of Oregon, who supported a wealth tax for billionaires and criticized Musk's twitter poll.

'Whether or not the world's wealthiest man pays any taxes at all shouldn't depend on the results of a Twitter poll,' Wyden wrote. 'It's time for the Billionaires Income Tax.'

Musk lashed back by mocking Wyden's face, writing, 'Why does ur pp look like u just came?'

The current spat with Warren comes as Musk, who has a net worth of $265 billion, continues to receive backlash after being named Time's Person of the Year this week.   

'The guy could really use an ego boost, you know?' joked Daily Show host Trevor Noah. 'And honestly, you can't argue with this: I mean, richest man in the world, who also controls space, crypto, and electric cars? Who would even be second place? Like, maybe Pete Davidson?'

'It's important to note this is not necessarily a compliment,' late night host Jimmy Kimmel mocked. 'Adolf Hitler and Donald Trump were also named person of the year.' 

Musk was bestowed the honor after a year of selling off his possessions and moving to Texas, launching rockets into space, inventing new driverless cars, sharing his Asperger's diagnosis while hosting Saturday Night Live and influencing the stock market with this tweets.

Musk spoke with Time Magazine and discussed his 'semi-separated' status with Grimes, slammed vaccine mandates as an 'erosion of freedom' and shared his plans to fly a Noah's ark spaceship packed full of animals to Mars as he works to colonize the planet.

As of Monday, Musk has a net worth of $265.4 billion. Speaking about being the richest man in the world and all of history Musk pointed to someone who he claims is even richer than he is.

'Well, I think there's like some, you know, sovereigns. I think [Russia's] President Putin is significantly richer than me. I can't invade countries and stuff,' Musk said.  

'When looking at income and asset distribution, it is very important to normalize that for age. So as societies age, there are more older people; the older somebody is, the richer they are,' he explained. 

'But a lot of the push for higher government involvement and expropriation of assets by the government is pushed by a bunch of politicians who are actually saying that resources shouldn't be in control of private individuals. They should be in control of the government,' Musk said. 

One of the billionaire's biggest criticisms is his enormous wealth, while paying little to none in taxes. Recently, he openly bashes President Joe Biden's Build Back Better Plan, which is fully funded by 'the very largest corporations and the wealthiest Americans.' 

The Tesla and SpaceX CEO made history several times this year including SpaceX's September launch of the first all-civilian crew into space. The aerospace company also won a $3 billion contract with NASA- sparking a feud with fellow billionaire Jeff Bezos

The SpaceX CEO commented on the success of the aerospace company. 

'If we have ships and boosters but no engines, we would be losing billions of dollars a quarter. And if that continued, then bankruptcy would not be out of the question,' he admitted. 

'I feel as though we've had many years of success and a lot of people at the company have never seen a launch failure. A lot of people have never in their career experienced a recession,' Musk boasted. 

'If somebody entered the workforce after 2009, it just seemed like things always go up. I was concerned that we may be getting complacent,' he shared. 

Musk has described himself as a 'utopian anarchist' and aims to utilize his businesses to create a more efficient and automated future. 

'If there's a utopia where people have access to any goods or services that they want, there's plenty for everyone. If we have a highly automated future with the robots that can do anything, then any work you do will be because you want to do it, not because you have to do it. I don't mean to suggest chaos, but rather that you're not under anyone's thumb,' Musk said. 

Tesla has announced their plans to create a humanoid robot with artificial intelligence in 2022 and penned a deal with Hertz and Uber to make 100,000 Tesla's available to rent. 

This partnership sent Tesla's stock to shoot up making the CEO's net worth jump to $302 billion, making him the first person to ever be worth more than $300 billion and richer than some countries.
